Channel Title: Summer Lee Design Co. Channel Description: Hi! My name is Summer and I’m obsessed with knitting socks. I live in a cozy craftsman bungalow in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my husband Dave, our two teenagers, a dog who adores me, and a dog who seems to actively resent my very existence. I’ve been knitting for almost 20 years, and designing sock knitting patterns since 2020. I LOVE color ~ finding surprising and delightful color stories is my favorite part of the design process! I’ve written a book about sock knitting too, which you can find in my shop, along with all my patterns! I hope you’ll find patterns you love, plenty of color inspiration, and helpful tips across my site and social media channels. I also produce a weekly knitting podcast where I share my current projects, book recommendations, helpful tips, and more! You can find me Instagram (@summer.lee.knits), Ravelry (summerleigh) and here on YouTube! <video> I Knit the CUTEST Colorwork Socks for SPRING!

Thank you so much for the support! The commissions help me continue creating this podcast! INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE BLANKET Materials: Fabric, scissors (or rotary cutter), sewing machine, thread, DMC floss, an expensive comforter (don't buy down - you'll be cutting it and feathers would be everywhere!). Blanket sizing: Mine is 48" (122 cm) x 68" (173). I think this is a great size for a couch blanket, but you can make yours in whatever size you want! 1. Make your blanket top and bottom (both should be the same size). If you are using standard 44" (112 cm) wide fabric, you'll need to sew panels together to make it wide enough! If you want to do a quilted top like mine, I used this tutorial to make the half triangle squares: https://youtu.be/zjPQaQqrXnw?si=2R-e8nLjP6tdM-Sn 2. Lay out your comforter on the floor. Lay either your top or bottom piece on top of the comforter (it doesn't matter which one), and cut your comforter to match the piece in size. 3. Lay out your comforter on the floor. Lay your bottom piece on top of the comforter RIGHT SIDE UP. Lay your top piece on top of the bottom piece RIGHT SIDE DOWN. 4. Pin all three pieces together and then sew it all up, leaving about an 8" (20 cm) opening on one side so you can turn it right side out. 5. Trim the raw edges of your blanket with pinking shears, then turn it right side out. Sew up the opening you left. 6. Using DMC floss and an embroider needle, thread the floss through all three layers of fabric and tie a little knot! Do that in even spacing across the width and length of the quilt. And that's it! </video> <video> I Failed TWICE This Week (But I Learned What I DON'T Like!) Description: This week was rough! I experimented with weird yarn, and the results . . . weren't what I was hoping for! 😂. I also tried to knit a cool ribbed sock, which you might like?

Description: Want to keep up-to-date on pattern releases and get special discounts?

You can find them all below! Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/designers/summer-lee My Website: https://www.summerleedesignco.com FADED SHORTY SOCKS RECIPE SIZES The numbers below refer to the circumference of the ball of the foot, not the finished sock. Kid (5 -6” / 13 – 15 cm) S (7” / 18 cm) M (8” / 20 cm) L (9” / 23 cm) XL ( 10” / 25 cm) MATERIALS Yarn Approximately (123) 147 (164, 189, 211) yards / (112) 134 (150, 173, 193) meters TOTAL of fingering weight sock yarn in a variety of speckled and/or variegated colors. I typically use either 3 or 4 colors for a faded shorty sock. Needles US size 1 (2.25 mm) Notions Tapestry needle, stitch markers, snips, measuring tape FADING TIPS When to Switch Yarns When working a standard 3-color fade on shorty socks, I finish my gusset decreases and then work 3 rnds before blending in my second color. I start blending the third color about 2” / 5cm before working the toe decreases. Ultimately, use your eye! It’s not an exact science, and you can begin blending a new color when you think the time is right! How to fade/blend the yarns When you are ready to start blending in a new color, you can follow this pattern to achieve a more random striping of the old yarn (color A), and the new yarn (color B) A B A B A A B A B B A B A B B A Cut A and cont working with B only. INSTRUCTIONS Cuff With US size 1 (2.25 mm) needles and your first color (color A), CO (48) 57 (63, 72, 81) sts and join for working in the rnd, being careful not to twist your sts. Est 2 x 1 ribbing: [k2, p1] to end. Cont working the ribbing until your cuff measures ¾” (2 cm), or your desired length. On the last rnd of the ribbing, some of you need to adjust your stitch counts. If you are working the Kid size, or L, move on to the leg instructions. The rest of you, make the following increase or decrease according to your size: S: Work in rib pattern to the last 3 sts, k2tog, p1. 56 sts. M: Work in rib pattern to the last 3 sts, kfb, k1, p1. 64 sts. XL: Work in rib pattern to the last 3 sts, k2tog, p1. 80 sts. Leg Work 13 rnds even in stockinette, or until the leg, including cuff, is your desired length! The legs on my sample socks measure 2.75” / 7 cm. Heel Flap K across the first (24) 28 (32, 36, 40) sts, then begin working the heel flap back and forth across the remaining (24) 28 (32, 36, 40) sts as follows: Row 1 (RS): K2, [sl 1wyib, k1] to end. Turn work. Row 2 (WS): Sl 1 wyif, p to end. Turn work. Row 3: [Sl 1 wyib, k1] to end. Turn work. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until Heel Flap measures (1.75) 2 (2, 2.25, 2.5)” / (4.5) 5 (5, 5, 6) cm. End after you have worked row 3. Heel Turn Row 1 (WS): Sl 1 wyif, p (12) 14 (16, 18, 20), p2tog, p1, turn. Row 2 (RS): Sl 1 wyib, k3, ssk, k1, turn. Row 3: Sl 1 wyif, p4, p2tog, p1, turn. Row 4: Sl 1 wyib, k5, ssk, k1, turn. You have now established the following pattern for your heel turn: sl 1, knit or purl to 1 st before the gap created by turning on the previous row, ssk or p2tog, k1 or p1, turn. Cont in this pattern until all your heel sts have been working, ending on a RS row. You should now have (14) 16 (18, 20, 22) heel sts. Gusset With the right side of your work facing, pick up and k (10) 12 (14, 16, 18) sts along the left side of the heel flap. Next, K across the first (24) 28 (32, 36, 40) sts that we’ve left undisturbed on our needles while working the heel flap. Pm, and pick up (10) 12 (14, 16, 18) sts on the right side of the heel flap. K across the heel sts, then k down the first set of new sts you picked up on the left side. You’ve reached the end of the rnd, and all your sts have now been picked up. You should now have (58) 68 (78, 88, 98) sts on your needles. Gusset Decreases Rnd 1: K across (24) 28 (32, 36, 40) sts, sl marker, k1, ssk, k around to 3 sts before the end of rnd, k2tog, k1. Rnd 2: Work even with no decreases. Repeat these two rnds until you have (48) 56 (64, 72, 80) sts on your needles. Foot Cont knitting in stockinette until your foot reaches just to the tip of your pinky toe. Toe Rnd 1: K1, ssk, k (18) 22 (26, 30, 34) sts, k2tog, k1, pm, k1, ssk, k (18) 22 (26, 30, 34) sts, k2tog, k1. Rnd 2: K. Rnd 3: K1, ssk, k to 3 sts before next marker, k2tog, k1, sl m, k1, ssk, k around to 3 sts before end of rnd, k2tog, k1. Repeat rnds 2 and 3 until (20) 24 (28, 32, 36) sts remain. Use kitchener stitch to close the toe. FINISHING Weave in all ends and block your socks!

Description

Hi! My name is Summer and I’m obsessed with knitting socks.
I live in a cozy craftsman bungalow in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my husband Dave, our two teenagers, a dog who adores me, and a dog who seems to actively resent my very existence.

I’ve been knitting for almost 20 years, and designing sock knitting patterns since 2020. I LOVE color ~ finding surprising and delightful color stories is my favorite part of the design process! I’ve written a book about sock knitting too, which you can find in my shop, along with all my patterns!

I hope you’ll find patterns you love, plenty of color inspiration, and helpful tips across my site and social media channels. I also produce a weekly knitting podcast where I share my current projects, book recommendations, helpful tips, and more!

You can find me Instagram (@summer.lee.knits), Ravelry (summerleigh) and here on YouTube!
