About this Design
The KISS Socks are all about versatility, whilst also Keeping It Super Simple:

  • The stitch pattern has just 2 stitches and 2 rows and so is super simple to memorise,
  • The socks are knitted in double knit/8-ply yarn and so will makeup very quickly, and
  • The Fleegle Heel is one of the easiest gusset heels to work for a toe-up sock.

The stitch pattern is completely different on both sides so if you need to, you can simply change up your look from a rib with a difference to nubbly texture by turning your socks inside out. The size range means that the socks will fit four adult sizes so why not Keep It Super Simple and knit one for every adult member of the family?

Gauge/Tension
