Reading always has a purpose. What does reading fulfill for you? I duplicate stitched the words read more on my socks as a message to myself to read more.

The Read More Socks are a cabled sock knit toe up with an after thought heel. “Read More” is duplicated stitched on the bottom of the socks. The socks shown are knit with a DK yarn by Kimber’s Cozy Creations (a discount code for the sock set is in the pattern).

The pattern also has flexible options. If you want the “Read More” but not the cables, there are instructions for a non-cabled ribbed sock. Two different options for cuffs are also provided.

Wear these cozy socks and curl up with a book.
