Election day in the United States is coming soon, and I wanted a pattern for a pair of socks I could wear when I go out to vote in November. There aren’t very many sock patterns, so I created this little sock design that I can wear on November 5, 2024. Knit along with me to be ready to make our voices heard!

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy, and it remains an important tool to hold our officials accountable and participate in shaping our future. I encourage you to register to vote, check your voter registration, and make a plan with a friend to vote for all levels of government on election day.
