Here is my latest free sock design which I hope you will enjoy.

This design is quick to knit and has just enough interest to liven up an otherwise plain sock.

If, like me, you have an ever growing stash of sock yarn and want to make some room for more purchases - then this design is for you.

The size fits up to 8 1/2” / 21.5 cm foot circumference and foot length is adjustable. If you want to adjust the foot circumference then just use a bigger or smaller size set of needles for a bespoke fit.

The stitch pattern makes me think of bubbles interspersed by small squares on the knitted fabric - the pink yarn and stitch pattern together remind me of bubble gum - that’s why I’ve called the design ‘Bubble Yum’.

Knit this design for a teenager or the ‘young at heart’ - this pattern looks good knitted in pastels, bold or neon colours.

Thank you for taking an interest in this design.

Happy knitting everyone - don’t forget to post pictures of your projects - I’d love to see them on Ravelry :)
