SUPPORT MY WORK
I set out to create a pair of size-inclusive socks that you could adapt with any pattern you would like, or you can knit them just the way they are.  Please feel free to take any or all elements from these socks to make a pair of socks that make you happy and comfortable.  I just ask if you are a designer, and use one of my elements in your pattern, that you link my pattern and give me credit for my work.

These socks will always be free, a gift from me to the knitting community. However, if you would like to support my work, please feel free to do so at my Ko-fi page. Ko-fi’s are never expected but always appreciated.
