Get your bird socks!

Ready for some bird socks?

A Checklist of Birds is now available! You can get the pattern here on my website or on Ravelry, and you can get the yarn from the Gauge Dye Works website.

Curious about our inspiration? Read all about the Victoria Natural History Society’s bird checklist and how we used it to develop this project. You can also learn about Catherine’s colour development on her blog.

About the Sock Pattern

  • The socks are worked toe-up.

  • The texture patterns are actually charts showing how common birds are in the Victoria region throughout the year. The stripe sections represent eight different birds.

  • Stitch patterns are charted and written out, so choose your preference or use both!

  • One skein of Gauge Dye Works yarn has everything you need to knit the socks. You’ll only have a few ends to weave in because the stripes happen as you work.

  • Want to knit with stash yarn? No problem, the pattern includes instructions for subbing yarn too.

  • I consider this an advanced beginner project. This is great TV and vacation knitting!

What’s that bird?

Here’s another one of our featured birds. Take a guess at what it is in the comments!

A fluffy bird is perched on a dry branch. They’ve got a white chest with striking black spots, a black cravat, and orange and black tail feathers.
