GROUNDING SOCKS

For the roots of the feet,
cold toes wrapped in warmth,
grounded in the magic,
of handmade socks.

Grounding Socks help keep you in the moment. While knitting, the repeating pattern is just enough to keep you invested to finish without being overwhelmed by complexity. Featuring an afterthought heel and toe-up design, these socks could easily be knit two-at-a-time. Featuring a small cable that doesn’t require a cable needle, plus a video to show you how!

This pattern is easy to customize! Make them all in one color, or use different colors to use up stash yarn for the heels, toes and cuff!
