promotion! 20% off to celebrate By A Thread socks until end of day October 26, no code needed! :)

An ode to the tiny, spooky, creative creatures that rival the skills of knitters everywhere! Spiders that spin webs have excellent design sense and make their webs from some of the strongest material possible. These spiderweb socks, however, are made of yarn and by humans, unless you recruit your house spiders to help! Bonus spooky vibes, because who among us isn’t hanging on By A Thread these days?!

TECHNIQUES
These socks are knit cuff-down with a picot cuff, a heel flap and gusset, and one colorwork chart, plus an optional mirrored chart for the foot. The toe is closed using three-needle bind off.

SIZING
The sock pattern is written for 3 sizes: S (M, L). The socks are designed to fit an approximate foot circumference 8” (9”, 10”) or approximately 20 (23, 25 ½) cm. This can vary based on gauge, needle size, and sock fit preference. Please ensure that your chosen size matches with your knitting style materials, and preferred fit. The sample is shown in size S width and a women’s size 6 foot length.
