Semaphore Socks PDF Knitting Pattern
Semaphore Socks PDF Knitting Pattern
The Semaphore Socks are a fun and modern sock knitting pattern featuring a unique knit-and-purl motif reminiscent of signal flags. Worked from the top down with the Magic Loop method, these socks showcase the clever Fleegle Heel—a no-pickup, gusset-style heel construction that’s smooth and seamless. Designed using Ewe Ewe Yarns Fluffy Fingering in the vibrant Saffron color, this pattern offers a crisp texture and bold stitch definition.
Sized to fit five foot widths—6.5 (7.25, 8, 8.5, 9.25)” / 17 (18.5, 20.5, 22, 23.5) cm circumference—these socks are fully customizable in foot length and identical in construction for both feet. The toes are finished with grafting for a professional, seamless look.
Whether you’re an adventurous beginner or a seasoned sock knitter looking for something fresh, the Semaphore Socks pattern is a satisfying project with striking results.

Easy to knit, turns out beautiful
I am new to crochet, and all of the online stores take forever to get your purchase for yarn. The only exception is Ewe ewe yarn. It always comes in a couple of days, and that may be partially because I am also in California. But I placed an order two weeks ago with Knitpicks and it took them a full week to even acknowledge my order. The other thing I really love about this yarn is that it is fun!! I don’t know how to describe it but working with it is bouncy. And all of my stitches look so even. I love this stuff.
this yarn is so comfortable to knit with, handles beautifully. works up smoothly
I love this yarn! And the speed of the delivery was great.
Knits up well. Holds its shape. Great colors
The pattern is great and I’m enjoying the process.
After using the Ewe So Sporty to make the Elizabeth Smith vest I knew the size of the skeins would be perfect for a striped sweater. I just started it yesterday. I’m adapting another pattern that is not striped so fingers crossed my calculations are correct.
I love working with this yarn, smooth, soft and works up great
