Recently, I was introduced to cotton thread as a knitting yarn. At first I was reluctant to try it because of my long-standing love affair with wool. But once I got started---wow! Cotton has a wonderful feel, a great drape, and is oh-so easy and versatile to work with. It is perfect for accessories and year-round wear. Knitters in warmer climates can knit their favorite projects in cotton. Regardless of where we live, sometimes we just don’t want wool. Cotton socks are a great solution. Starry Starry Night is the first sock pattern I am publishing using my 8/2 single-strand cotton yarns. You might want to add some Wooly Nylon as you go, or at least in the heel and toe of the sock. Also, you will want to work some elastic thread to the top cuffs after you’ve finished knitting, so the socks will hold their shape. Use my Starry Starry Night colorway with Gold, as the cover pic shows, or choose your own color. Adjust fit easily by changing needle sizes.
