Watermelon Socks, Adult Melon Sock Knitting Pattern PDF download

A watermelon socks knitting pattern for adults, worked in 4ply yarn from the top down. Cheerful, easy to follow, and a great way to use up small amounts of contrast yarn from your stash.

Meet Water Melon Socks. A classic heel flap sock with stranded colourwork seeds worked across the foot, a crisp white stripe, and a green colour-block toe. Three sizes to fit adult foot circumferences of 20, 21, and 22cm.

Top down, heel flap and gusset construction

Yarn suggestions included for West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply, Drops Fabel, and Knit Picks Stroll Fingering. The seeds use only around 10g of each contrast colour, so this pattern is ideal for stash busting.

Not keen on stranded colourwork? The seeds can be Swiss darned on afterwards instead, giving them a slightly raised texture. Clear instructions are included either way.

What's in the PDF: 5 pages, instant download. Includes full written pattern for 3 sizes, colourwork chart, yarn requirements, tension details, and a tip on Swiss darning. A link to the free Knitting Abbreviations Guide is also included.

Sizes: S (17cm / 6.75in), M (18cm / 7in), L (19cm / 7.5in) finished foot circumference.

Yarn weight: 4ply / fingering.

Needles: 2.5mm dpns or 60–80cm circular. 

Quick to knit up once you're past the heel. Makes a lovely gift.
