I mentioned a few months ago that Kate Gilbert was going to be releasing a new sock pattern soon. Marina Piccola is finally here. Originally released as a part of Scout’s Indie Swag Club it’s now available for purchase.
I loved this sock the first time I saw it several months ago, and after working on this latest round of tech edits, I think I love it even more. The big swoosh of stockinette flanked by rippling water on either side is another one of those great patterns for subtly handdyed yarn. And you know what a sucker I am for subtly handdyed yarn.
The best part? This pattern comes in 7 stitch gauges (from 6.5 to 9.5 stitches per inch) and 8 foot circumferences (from 5.5 to 13.5 inches around) so you’re bound to have a good yarn in your stash to use with it.
Lovely!
that is beautiful!
Yes, I agree: it’s a fantastic design!
Gorgeous!
so pretty!
Very interesting pattern. Glad to hear more designers are making multiple sizes for sock patterns too! Hope you had a good 4th!
::gasp:: They’re beautiful! My gosh. Cheers to the different gauges and circumferences. It sounds like a real keeper of a pattern.
It’s a beautiful pattern!
I seriously think it’s one of the coolest sock patterns I’ve EVER seen. I think it’s so cool you helped on this! YAY!
