Well, this month's Featured Pattern is what I hope is a very timely re-release: the Luckenbach Socks. These knee-high socks, first published in Nomadic Knits issue 10,are perfect for the colder fall weather. And for those of you who don't already have the pattern, it's 50% off for the month of October!

These beautifully cabled socks are perfect to show off with a skirt or a pair of walking shoes. They come in two sizes, a standard 6 inch (15 cm) leg length, and a knee-high (10 inches / 25.5 cm) with calf shaping!
There are knit from the cuff down on circular needles or
double-pointed needles. The heel flap is knit flat and stitches are
picked up and knit from the slipped stitch edge of flap, then decreased
to form
the gusset. The toe is decreased, and the final toe seam is grafted together. This pattern also has an
accessible large print option that is compatible with screen-reading
software. The version available in Nomadic Knits also has both written and charted instructions (and absolutely counts for the October Featured Pattern Knit-Along, of course!)
Sample was knit in Gritty Knits Hombre in "Catahoula" (60% Superwash Merino, 20% Yak,
20% Silk) and shown in size XL. Any wool/nylon fingering-weight
sock yarn should work up well as a substitute.
You can buy the pattern through Etsy, on Ravelry, in my Web Shop, or, on my (new!) Patreon Shop, the discount is available on all platforms. (Psst, Featured Pattern Subscribers and above on Patreon can just download the pattern for free from the Patreon Shop!)
Now, onto the Knit-Along!
