You wouldn’t be the first to be surprised to find yourself here!
I bet it doesn’t seem that long ago that you were knitting your first pair of socks, and I bet there were times you wondered if you’d ever get your socks on your feet. Now, though, you knit socks without thinking through every stitch. You turn a heel without a second thought because it’s second nature.
You thought sock knitting was magic with pointy sticks – and now you are the one weaving the magic.
It’s time to create some more magic!
I designed these three patterns with people like you especially in mind.
You’re ready to take on a pattern that is more than just plain knitting and whether these are your first pair or your 101st pair, you’re going to love the way that these patterns take your sock knitting to the next level.
Boxy Rib Socks are textured ribbed socks, easy enough to knit whilst watching TV or sitting in a waiting room.
Carousel Socks feature a lace section just after the cuff, then an easily-memorised eyelet pattern all the way down the foot.
Impressive Socks are exactly that – impressive-looking twisted stitches which make you look like a sock-knitting superstar.
These patterns are also available as individual PDFs in the Winwick Mum shop, on Ravelry and on Payhip.
You can find out more about the patterns on the individual product pages and in this blog post: Socks Ahoy
