Welcome to Westknits Year of Socks 2026! I can’t wait for another year filled with colorful sock designs. You will receive an automatic PDF update at the beginning of each month, starting with the first pattern called Smock o’clock Socks in January. The January sock will require just one skein of solid or semi-solid fingering weight sock yarn. The other designs will vary between one-color, two-color, or multi-color stashbusting socks for leftovers and mini skeins. Some designs will also feature self-striping yarn. Stock up on your favorite sock yarns for the year and get ready for lots of different techniques like smock stitches, slip stitches, cables, shorts, a bit of brioche, modular knitting, simple relaxing patterns, and more!
