Pattern Details:
Introducing the Illustrated Couple Socks, a playful knit sock pattern inspired by the rise of illustrated romance covers. As romance novels have shifted from photos to artwork, these iconic couples have become a genre-defining staple, and now, they’re stepping off the page and onto your needles.
Knit top-down with a comfy 2x2 ribbed cuff, classic heel flap and gusset, and a round toe that doesn’t require grafting, this pattern is designed to become a go-to favorite. Sized in five options for a flexible fit, it features a textured leg with a smooth stockinette foot—perfect for newer sock knitters looking for a stylish, approachable project.
This pattern was designed by Lauren Rad. You can find her information on our pattern artist page HERE.

Bad Sheep Yarn strives to represent the true colors of our yarn in the photos we post. We also work hard to make sure that larger orders are in the same color batch. In spite of all this, please keep in mind when ordering that each batch is done by human hands; and that some computer monitors have different light settings. Our ultimate goal is to create something beautiful, as close to the photo as we can, just for you.
