I want to take another swing at socks. So for 2014 Stashbustin’ #3, I chose Rye Socks by Tin Can Knits! It’s a free pattern using worsted/aran weight yarn. Aren’t they gorgeous?

I pulled the Caron Simply Soft in Sunshine (yellow) from my hibernating One Piece Pullover from back in 2013. It’s worsted weight and being acrylic will stand up to my beginner mistakes and subsequent frogging when it comes to making socks. If I like this pattern, then I may do it again with better yarn, lol.
I like this idea of socks knitting in heavier yarn. I find as a knitter I like instant gratification projects. Socks are fast anyway, but worsted weight yarn whooo boy! I might even whip up a pair for my husband and his giant feet 🙂
Happy Knitting!

Oh this pattern looks great! I’ve just knit my first Tin Can pattern. I may have to check this one out. Can’t wait to see your socks!
I love your socks!!
I have this in my queue! These socks are awesome! Show us when they are finished!
I love that pattern! I’m definitely going to attempt these 🙂
Nice! I may have to try that pattern. Off to ravelry to make it a favorite…
Mhh… that picture really makes me want to go through my sock yarn stash straight away when I come home and look for the brightest yarn I own. But wait, some other thigs to finish first but than socks…
I’ve been meaning to knit a worsted weight socks pattern–genius! Thanks for the pattern-share. Going to check it out now.
I love the pattern. I love knitting socks but quit knitting them because I wear the heals out so bad. Good luck.
Love it. I’ve always avoided socks because they seem like so much work for something that’ll be hidden away in my boots, but these look like a gratifyingly quick and lovely knit.
They turned out great! I love their designs. They seem like a great way to try something new. I’ll have to add this pattern to my favorites!
What a fantastic color for this time of year! I don’t know that I’ve done worsted weight socks before, but they do sound satisfying!
I’ve never made socks from a yarn heavier than fingering/sock yarn. How do they feel on the soles of your feet?
I will have to let you know…..they aren’t far enough along to test yet 🙂
