Here is Stephen West’s June sock pattern. You can purchase the e-book on Ravelry.
This pattern is the June sock in my Westknits Year of Socks e-book. This pattern is available exclusively as part of the Westknits Year of Socks 2025 e-book. You will receive a new sock pattern update at the beginning of each month until all 12 socks are released by December 2025. The sock patterns will be available to purchase individually in 2026.
These top-down socks are inspired by one of my first Westknits designs called Botanic Hat. Begin with the ribbed cuff followed by stripes and slip stitches on the leg. You only work with one color a time while working the simple slip stitch pattern. The top of the foot is knit flat with the same slip stitch columns. Then, the heel flap and heel turn are worked in a pop of color. The gusset and sole of the sock are knitted flat in stockinette stitch while being seamlessly attached to the top foot fabric. This modular construction creates a bold color blocked design and highlights Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy self-striping sock yarn. Combine one self-striping sock yarn with a solid main color for these sleek and stripetastic socks.

83 years young. Last night we had friends over dinner. Everyone had a great time and afterwards dad was very thankful for the evening.
Here are a few of dad’s favourite things. Fishing at the cottage.
