A yoga friend wants to knit yoga socks. I’ve designed the Namaste Socks to work well in a DK superwash wool blend. The k2, p2 ribbing is meditative, and the socks can be knit in just a few days making them the perfect gift or accessory.
This may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of sock (and stitch) construction is helpful.
Knit Purl Hunter has graciously given permission for me to link her Cable Cast On and Bind Off in Pattern videos to assist any adventurous beginners wishing to knit a pair of Namaste socks.
