Stranded sock knitting pattern PDF - Hexbin

Hexbin is a top-down, unisex sock pattern featuring stranded colorwork. It is a fun, geometric design that leaves a lot of room for experimentation with color and pattern. It is also a great stash-busting project for those self-striping, gradient or tonal colorways that can be difficult to do justice to.

There are 3 sizes available: Small (64 stitches), Medium (72 stitches) and Large (80 stitches).

The pattern is worked at a gauge of 8 stitches and 10 rows = 2.5 cm in stranded stockinette.

You’ll need fingering weight sock yarn in 2 contrasting colors: about 70 grams for main colour and 40 grams for contrast colour.

Other materials required are a set of knitting needles for working small circumferences in the round, needles to achieve gauge in stranded colourwork, at least 5 stitch markers, a cable needle if you use one for cabling, and a tapestry needle

Other materials required are a set of knitting needles for working small circumferences in the round, at least 8 stitch markers, and a darning needle.
