Do you like to kick around the house in comfy yet durable socks? These two patterns allow you to knit two pairs of socks: one for women’s long and relatively narrow feet and one for men’s wide and long feet, both with big circumference heel-ankle-instep-ankle-heel.

Knitting socks does not have to be boring. With these two patterns you get to practice toe-up sock knitting in two styles: Kasia Socks are done as two at the time, while Witek Socks are created one at the time.


Kasia Socks and Witek Socks patterns have been merged. The new version of the patters and all the news for past and prospective customers will be sent out shortly.
