Dazzling Dunbroch Socks Pattern by Emma Sadler Designs
These socks were designed when I was playing around with how many rows of stocking stitch I wanted to put in a repeating pattern. In the end I liked the effect and so it stayed! The lace stitch goes around the whole leg, stops at the heel but carries on to the toe on the front.
The construction is a cuff down, and they come in 8 sizes from toddler, through womens and to mens sizes. The colourway of the wool I used was called Merida. She came from Dunbroch, hence the name of the pattern.
A pair of large mens socks can be made from one ball of 100g 4-ply/fingering weight sock yarn.
Pattern includes a schematic and has been test knitted.
Thank you to my tech editor Tabatha Thomas Studio

About the Dunbroch Socks Pattern
The Everglade Tam is knitted with dk weight yarn. You could substitute any DK weight yarn. I used 3.5mm and 4mm needles and King Cole Glitz Double Knitting . The Hat / Beanie pattern has instructions for three sizes from 17 to 22 inch brim to fit a broad range of heads and hair volume. The design features a reverse stocking stitch background on the cable panel, to show off the cable stitches and let them shine.

As always, when I’m knitting for the knitworthy members of my family or dear friends, I consider how they’re going to wear it, wash it, the colours they love and what styles they wear. In this case, I loved the Merida colourway of the 4ply / fingering weight yarn. As Merida lived at Dunbroch, it was the obvious name for the sock pattern, a bit feisty, fun and a way to showcase a variegated yarn.
“I knit, therefore, I am amazing.”
