Yes, it’s only got six legs, but bear with me. The Booktopus looks out for all your pages.

These socks are a fun variation of a simple rib sock and are therefore ideally suited when it’s just got to be something more than a plain vanilla socks. A little fancy simply cable is just so much more fun than the forever stocking stitch sock.

This summer top is based on the top worn by the main character Belly on her first date in the Amazon series The Summer I Turned Pretty season 1. I chose to make it in the same colours and only changed the blue colour for other samples.

Lots of sock yarn leftovers but neither the patience nor the will to make yet another blanket or socks? Then this could be the pattern for you.

These socks are a variation of the knit/purl rib sock and are therefore ideally suited as a possible plain vanilla sock. Sometimes if find stockinette socks just a bit too tedious to knit, so I like to mix things up a big.

These socks are a variation of the 1/1 rib and are therefore ideally suited as a possible plain vanilla sock. Things are so much faster when there’s a bit of fun along the way.

These socks are a variation of the 1/1 rib and are therefore ideally suited as a possible plain vanilla sock. Things are so much faster when there’s a bit of a distraction.

A second tribute sock to Sir Guy of Gisborne - sly antagonist of BBC’s Robin Hood.

This is the perfect pattern for fans of Sir Guy of Gisborne. It has pin tucks like his leather suit and a secret message in lace on the foot part of the sock. This message can be adapted to personal liking - all the relevant letters are included in the pattern.

These socks were designed as a fun way to bust some stash and to knit yourself your own memory lane sock because you can include as many scraps of yarns from former socks as you like. Knit them with lots or just with two kinds of yarn - the zigzag differs just slightly and all your versions will be great!

These socks are knit first and then the bird’s face is added by duplicate stitch and some left-over yarn. They can be worked in any color that the bird should look like in the end. I chose yellow eyes for a (not too) fierce-looking hawk, but it can be changed to a brown-eyed snow owl or any other bird in an instant. The possibilities are endless.

This is a sock using a small scale lace pattern which can be remembered easily, making this a fast sock to knit.

This is a very easy pattern for a sock that shows ribbing that is a bit more interesting than plain vanilla 2/2 (although I love that one, too!) Also, the changes in the ribbing, even if they are small, make you work a little faster because you can set yourself small goals that are easy to reach. You will find they fly off the needles.
