Gather a colourful palette of sock yarn and cast on these playful socks inspired by the beautiful landscape of Iceland. Begin with short row mountains knitted sideways around the leg. This flat garter stitch short row section is then seamed together for a tube. Stitches are picked up for the broken rib cuff and garter stitch heel flap. The gusset and foot are knitted in the round with a woven slip stitch motif and stockinette stitch for the sole. Knit these socks with four contrasting colours or make a stash-busting pair of Icelandscape Socks with your leftover sock yarn. Sizes 1 [2, 3, 4, 5] Finished measurements 7 [8, 9, 10, 11]″ / 18 [20, 23, 25, 28]cm ankle and foot circumference. Measurements taken afterblocking Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease. Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 8 [9, 10, 11, 12]″ / 20 [23, 25, 28, 30]cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm or 1.5″ / 4cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot. The lengths of the cuff and foot are easily customizable by knitting more textured pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer textured pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot.
