Footsie
Perfect with boots, smashing in shoes, fabulous under dresses, and just right with jeans, Footsie socks are deliciously wearable on all feet, for all occasions.
Smothered in all-over texture, they hug your feet in all the right places.
Knitted from the top down and featuring a textured heel flap, Footsie are the perfect socks to pick up and put down.
You’ll find it easy to spot your place in the pattern, and it’s oh-so-simple to read your stitches – watch a pair of Footsies fly off your needles while you chat.
Including 3 sizes and clear instructions, Footsie is an excellent pattern for new sock knitters as well as experienced knitters who love a good fit.
The pattern looks stunning in subtly variegated yarn as well as bold solid tones – grab a skein of sock yarn and cast on your next pair of favourite socks!
