★ Your first pair of knit socks starts here

Knit socks are so popular. When I first learned to knit, sock patterns popped up everywhere and I was too scared to pick up my needles and try. Now I wonder why I was ever so intimidated, and I hope you’ll feel the same after this beginner pattern.

Self-striping Felici yarn gives you fun stripes without changing colors, and the video tutorial walks you through each step. Three sizes cover US shoe sizes 4 to 11.
