I designed these socks to be a fun and relaxing knit, like sitting in your book nook reading a book. Originally knit in fingering weight, I thought, what could be more cozy than some DK weight socks? Enjoy your pair of cozy Book Nook DK socks, they are quite addictive.

This pattern includes instructions for both a toe-up (pg. 3-4) and top-down (pg. 5-6) fingering weight sock with a Shadow Wrap Heel. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel.

There are 2 different charts, one for each sock (to make a symmetrical pair of socks). Feel free to work from only one chart if you prefer the socks to look identical. If you prefer to work from written instructions as opposed to a chart, work from the written instructions from either chart when pattern states to work from chart. If knitting with one color, just ignore when you are told to change to CC or MC. Also, feel free to knit CC for heel as well, just know that yardage will change for either option.

Sample knit toe-up, size 2 with 188 yds of Needles at the Ready Achilles DK ‘It’s Fall Y’all’ for MC and 46 yds of Legacy Fiber Artz DK ‘Espresso Beans’ for CC.
