The Katie Socks are named for my dear friend. The name Katie means pure, and these socks are a pure joy to knit, and a pure joy to wear. The Katie Socks are shortie shocks that are designed with an interesting stitch pattern that is fun to knit and easy to execute. Extra stitches in the heel flap and gusset of the Katie Socks make them comfortable to wear as they stay in place, and don’t slip down when worn. They are the perfect summer socks to knit. I hope you enjoy knitting and wearing them.
