About this Pattern

The Guildhall Yard socks were inspired by the pretty geometric-patterned pavements of Guildhall Yard in London. A place steeped in history, Guildhall has stood in London for over 800 years and has survived both the Great Fire of London and the Blitz. But it’s story goes even further back as, in the 1980’s a long-lost Roman amphitheatre was discovered underneath what is now Guildhall Yard! Guildhall Yard is a pattern to celebrate the histories that lie under our feet.

Guildhall Yard is a basic adult sock pattern, knit from the top down with a simple lace panel running down the front of the sock. The pattern is written for 3 adult sizes and video tutorials are provided for the stitches and techniques used to make the socks.

This pattern includes links to video tutorials for:

Dividing stitches over DPN’s
Picking up the heel gusset slip stitches
Kitchener stitch to close the toe

Skills / Techniques Used – Knit, purl, slip stitch, short rows, decreases

Sizes and Measurements

Hand knit socks are designed to be slightly smaller than the foot length to give a small amount of negative ease. This means that they will hug the foot and leg and stay in place. The sizes given are a ‘to fit’ size. The actual socks will be slightly smaller to allow a little stretch for a snug fit.

The sizes given in this pattern are for adult sizes in small, medium and large. To determine which size sock to knit you will need to measure your foot as follows:

Circumference – Take a tape measure and wrap this around the widest part of your foot, just before your toes.

Length – Take a ruler and place it on the floor. With the back of your heel on ‘0’ measure the length to the top of your longest toe.

If your measurements are in between the sizes given, select the nearest circumference size as the length can be easily adjusted to fit.

• Small Adult - 8” / 20.5cm foot circumference and 8.5” / 21.5cm length from tip of toe to back of heel
• Medium Adult - 9” / 23cm foot circumference and 9.25” / 23.5cm length from tip of toe to back of heel
• Large Adult - 9.75” / 25cm foot circumference and 10” / 25.5cm length from tip of toe to back of heel

The size shown in the pattern photographs is for the small adult.

Gauge - 32 stitches and 44 rnds to 4” / 10cm in stockinette stitch after blocking
