Arcadia - Knit Socks with Arcadia

Knit Socks with Arcadia
Confident colourwork takes centre stage in Volume 05 of Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio, featuring striking socks by Carmen Jorissen of New Leaf Designs, knitted using our hardwearing and characterful sock yarn, Scheepjes Arcadia.
This issue includes two comprehensive sock patterns to fit six shoe sizes between EU 35 to 47, also listed in UK (2.5 to 12) and US (4 to 13) equivalents, offering the choice between Toe Up or Cuff Down construction. Whichever method you prefer, you’ll be guided through each stage, with smart solutions for achieving a comfortable fit. Both patterns are supported with helpful tips and explanations of special techniques. For extra guidance, Carmen’s video tutorials are also accessible via QR code.
Eleven striking colourwork projects are included, with a fun mix of botanical and geometric patterns, each designed to pair seamlessly with either the Toe Up or Cuff Down sock construction. Every pattern uses two contrasting balls of Arcadia, with a detailed table listing the names and numbers of the colourways used. Some patterns also include an alternative colour combination, to show how dramatically colour can transform a design.
Also included in this volume are two helpful reference pages: one showcasing the Arcadia colourways available at the time of release, and another introducing a selection of high-quality Addi sock needles, with options to suit different knitting styles and preferences.
Printed copies are available from Scheepjes Retailers Worldwide in English and Dutch. Digital versions can be found on Ravelry in English, Dutch and German. [LINK]
About Arcadia
Made from a blend of 75% Superwash Virgin Wool and 25% Polyamide, and available in four expressive styles: Solid, Tonal, Self-Striping and Jacquard, Scheepjes Arcadia is designed for functionality and creativity in equal measure. It’s warm and breathable thanks to the natural properties of wool, with the toughness and easy-care qualities of polyamide. Arcadia is machine washable, delivers excellent stitch definition, and has a slightly rustic texture that softens beautifully with handling.
