Simple & Best Socks
A free version is also available.
★ The sock pattern you’ll make again and again
Love the look of knit but only crochet? These socks use unique crochet stitches to mimic knit and purl, for a flexible, comfortable fabric that actually feels good in your shoes.
NEW: This pattern now comes with an added interactive version in the Briana K Stitch app.
You still get the printable PDF you know and love. Inside the app you also get to check off every row as you work it, so your place is saved when life interrupts.
Fingering weight yarn really shows off the stitch definition with amazing drape. Make them ankle, mid calf, or all the way over the knee. Free on my blog too.
