Set your blanket down beneath the sturdy watch of Pendennis Castle, where sea meets sky and summer lingers just a little longer. Picnic at Pendennis is a sock pattern inspired by gingham cloths, salty breezes, and hand-packed lunches on the Cornish coast. With a rhythmic pattern that echoes the checks of a well-loved picnic blanket, these socks are perfect for a slow afternoon knit - whether you’re on the clifftops or curled up with a cup of tea. Pimms is optional!
 
Designed with comfort and charm in mind, this pattern brings together easy-to-memorise repeats and a nostalgic nod to simpler days by the sea.
 
These socks are designed with slip stitch colour work representing a picnic blanket and mock cable cuffs for the picnic basket. An easier version with slip stitch legs and matching strip pattern. Both featuring a heal and gusset and traditional toes. Why not pack a picnic and enjoy knitting these in the fresh air.
