Coming August 15

As a crocheter turned sock knitter, I wanted to highlight the iconic look of granny squares and granny stitches within a knitting pattern. Featuring a band of granny squares along the leg, colorful granny stripes on the end of the foot, and an option for a crochet spiral toe, these vanilla socks showcase crochet beautifully while using a variety of techniques. Pictures throughout show the crochet elements step-by-step, and a video tutorial walks you through the entire sock. The pattern is in US terminology. A heel flap and gusset is included in the pattern, as well as a modified knit square toe as an option.

SIZING
Sizing is based on foot circumference around the ball of your foot
Baby (4”)
Toddler (5”)
Child (6”)
Adult small (7”)
Adult medium (8”)
Adult large (9”)
Adult extra large (10”)
If your measurement is in between sizes, I suggest choosing the smaller size to ensure a snug fit of your socks.
