Gazzal Happy Feet Sock Yarn in colorway 3263
Pattern: Color Cuff Club Volume 1 by Summer Lee Knits (August 2024)
If you’ve been following along here for a while, you know I have a soft spot for a well-written sock pattern — and Summer Lee of Summer Lee Knits consistently delivers. This post is all about my experience knitting the first installment of her Colorwork Cuff Club from the August 2024 release that kicked off a 12-month series of colorwork sock charts.
The Colorwork Cuff Club is a year-long colorwork adventure built around a base sock pattern. Each month, a new colorwork chart is released that plugs right into that base, with the rest of the sock worked in relaxing stockinette.
This was my third Summer Lee sock, and I have to say, her patterns genuinely get easier to follow each time. The instructions are clear, the construction is intuitive, and the result is a great-fitting sock. If you’ve ever been intimidated by colorwork, this is a wonderful place to start.
The Yarn
For the main sock, I used Gazzal Happy Feet Sock Yarn in colorway 3263, gifted to me by Candy Yarn Shop. Candy Yarn Shop is a small business based out of Ukraine with a wonderful selection of affordable yarns — they carry a variety of colors and restock frequently, so it’s always worth checking back. (This particular colorway isn’t available right now, but I’ll link the shop below so you can browse what they currently have!)
For the floral motif on the colorwork cuff, I pulled from a mini skein from one of Emma’s Yarns mini sets — a light pink sock yarn that was absolutely perfect for the job. If you have any light pink sock yarn mini hanging around, that’s genuinely all you need for this element. It’s a small amount but makes such a sweet impact.
Both yarns were a dream to work with — smooth, consistent, and easy on the hands for a project that kept me happily knitting from start to finish.
Final Thoughts
This is one of those projects that reminds me why I love knitting. The pattern is well-written, the colorwork chart is approachable, and the finished sock fits beautifully. If you’re a sock knitter and haven’t explored Summer Lee’s patterns yet, I really can’t recommend them enough. And if you’re already a fan, the Colorwork Cuff Club is such a fun way to build your skills (and your sock collection!) month by month.
