I have finally finished my Gingko Socks which I started in January. I really love the finish and it is keeping my feet warm and comfortable.
I loved using the hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard. As soon as I saw a skein of this yarn it reminded me of the Ginkgo leaves.
It is a toe-up socks using short-row knitting technique. The heel turn is also knitted the same way as the toe. It is my favorite technique for sock knitting because the resulting toe and heel is neat.
I used 2.75mm dpn and hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard (I couldn’t see the same colorway but don’t worry there are lots of beautiful colors available!). The total st number is 52 sts which made a small – medium pair of sock (foot and ankle circumference of 21cm). The ginkgo leaf motif is a repeat of 13 sts so to make a larger socks it is better to use larger needles and thicker yarn e.g. 3.25-4mm rather than increase st number.

Thank you for sharing the pattern! It is lovely! I have a tiny ginko tree growing in my yard. The leaf is beautiful. From what I have read online, my little ginko tree won’t be little for long!

Thank you for the tutorial, Kyoko! These socks are just sooo pretty! I wish I could say I’m making good progress with the sock knitting…*sigh*…working with so many needles at once is still giving me grief. I am working on knitting a new baby cardigan for my baby niece…so some progress ;o) Happy week, my friend ((HUGS))
Fabulous socks in such wondreful colours.

Now I have to learn to make socks.. So beautiful! And the yarn is great!
