Dropping stitches is something all knitters try to avoid, but what if the mistake we fear could be turned into something beautiful when used intentionally? Trust me, follow my careful instructions, and let the stitches fall at the right time! Once you lose your fear of dropped stitches, you’ll fall into the soothing rhythm of this sock and be flying through this quick knit. Time for a Trust Fall!

Trust Fall is knit from the top down using basic lace techniques and simple ribbing. A quick wrap and turn heel, then you’re down to the foot, ending with an anatomically correct toe.

Don’t be afraid to try this sock! The pattern features two full page color tutorials for special stitches, and is fully written and charted. If it looks a little scary to you, I encourage you to read reviews from my tester’s project pages!
