Wanna know my sock knitting Happy Place?

bright colours + DK yarn + STRIPES! + stockinette stitch =
a pair of socks that almost knit themselves!

I hope you feel the same joy planning and knitting your own pair!

Happy Place socks include
- 4 SIZES, TOP DOWN CONSTRUCTION, MID LENGTH LEG, AFTERTHOUGHT HEEL, SO MANY STRIPES!

  • Pattern includes a photo tutorial and video link for an afterthought heel, but you can always substitute your preferred one if you choose.

  • These DK weight socks knit up super quickly playing with proportions of colourful stripes as you go.

  • Yarn amounts used for size 2: MC Sky High (40g) CC1 Chick Flick (4g) CC2 Big Apple (23g) CC3 May Flowers (4g) CC 4 Citron (23g)

  • I used 5 of my favourite colours of Frankie Grey Fibres. This pattern is designed for you to use as many or few as you wish.

  • A perfect scrappy sock option!

  • These are a mid calf leg length, but you can modify to suit your taste. Please know that this will change the yarn requirements as listed in the pattern.

  • Thank you so much to the Kate for editing, and to the generous test knitters that helped to make this pattern better.
