Learn more about which drafting method may work best for some, preferred breeds for socks that will hold up, suggested fiber preparations, and how to adjust a pattern to make your handknitted socks fit better.
From a lace-and-cable mash up to warm, cozy socks with crisp, plump cables, these five favorite sock patterns featuring a variety of beautiful colorways and styles will result in socks that are fun to knit and that will wear nicely.
These Queen of Diamond socks are brilliant, not only in their deep, rich color but also in their conception and toe-up construction.
