Say hello to your new favorite pair of socks!!!
Trick Socks

These socks are a treat to knit because of the very VERY simple ‘trick’!

Although the toes and cuffs are squishy/ deliciously comfortable reverse stockinette you don’t have to purl one single stitch to create that fabric! It’s a little like magic!

I walk you through the ‘trick’ with written and video tutorials so even a beginner sock knitter can feel confident that they can conquer these cute socks!
