It’s better to give and receive! Purchase both Snip Snap Shorties and Snip Snap Smitts and receive $1 off your total purchase at checkout. Both patterns can be made from one single skein of fingering weight yarn!

These socks are knit in the round from cuff to cuff and are separated in the middle after knitting. An afterthought heel is inserted, and then toes are knit.

This patterning works best on tonal, semi-solid, speckled, and solid yarns. Leave off the patterning if you are knitting self-striping, or highly variegated yarns.

I’ve designed these socks to make YOU happy. They are called Snip Snap socks because they can be made in a snap! Knit them in whatever way makes you happy. 9inch circs, DPNs, Magic Loop, and any size needle you like for making your socks works with this pattern.

Before using this method, it would take me many weeks to knit a pair of socks. Now I always have a pair on the needles, and can knit them in 3-5 days per pair. Never suffer from second sock syndrome again, and never fuss with the tangle of TAAT yarn management (unless you want, and then you can make two pairs at a time!!)
