The 5S’s stand for: Super Simple Structured Slouchy Socks. These socks came about when a friend of mine requested “slouchy socks” as a thank you present for helping me out with some craziness earlier this year. I only recently got around to working up these socks for her, and when I did I knew I wanted something a bit more structured than just oversized socks that slouch down because of bagginess. As a result, I designed this “structured” slouchy socks which use a combination of ruched stitchwork and increased needle size to create socks that, as my friend says, are “live-in” socks. :) This is a pattern that works great with solid or semi-solid yarns but also those crazy sock yarns we all have lying around but don’t know what to do with. :)

eBook includes both the sock and mitt patterns.
