Sometimes I receive requests to try to duplicate a pattern for a vintage type sock, in that it is an old sock and there is no pattern for it. This sock is a case in point. A friend of mine sent me a picture of a sock and asked if I could figure it our and knit a pair for her. I do love these projects as it is like a mystery that has to be solve...

There are times that I really just like to knit a simple pair of socks that don’t require a maze of pattern graphs but are simple enough to just memorize the repeat. I call this pattern the Banner Flag Socks because it has a wonderful triangle repeat that looks like those triangle banner flags that you see blowing in the wind at a special event.

I love incorporating cables into socks! And this is a pattern that I have wanted to do for a long while. A long cable with rib sock to give the close fit around the ankle and foot. This pattern does just that. The cable is not a difficult cable but the results look like a complex cable.

Unique, unusual, and special and one of a kind!

Some time ago I had knitted this style of sock for my husband and he has been wearing them for a couple of years now.I had knitted them using Lorna Laces Shepard Sock Yarn in a color called Navy Pier (Pictured below: variegated sea greens and blues). The pattern is original and have put it on paper. The sock is ribbed with a cable link chain pa...

This is an original sock pattern made up using a Double Cross Cable and a Chain Cable pattern. It is a fun sock to knit and challenging for the intermediate knitter. The results of the double cable for the leg and then a chain cable running down the foot is just beautiful!

The Last week of July, 2011 a customer sent me a photo of a pair of socks that she wanted to have knitted for her. It was an interesting project in that I had never really gotten an order like that. I tried looking for the pattern and asked the question to the different chat rooms I belong to…but never got an answer so…I decided to try to dupli...

This is my take on Braided Cable with Seed stitch socks. These are a combination of braided cable with seed stitch. The results made me think of Irish Fisherman sweaters. I love cable patterns and hope that you will too. These were knitted on US 1 dpn. A very fine feeling and tight knit. The yarn was Knit Picks Bare Fingering, merino/nylon. I h...

Everyone needs a basic sock pattern. This has been my basic classic cable sock that I have knitted and developed over the years. Very simple and easy to memorize it has always been that sock that I go to for a quick gift or just if I need another pair of sock. I’ve knitted these for my husband who, by the way, has the biggest collection of hand...

Have always like Irish Fisherman’s Cable Sweaters…actually just love combinations of cables and seed stitches. I knitted this pair of socks a while ago and took another look at it and decided to knit another pair, but this time I put the pattern down on paper. Love sharing this pattern. I knitted it in a beautiful aqua blue (better to see the ...

When I first knitted these it was because I needed a pair of mitts that I could use during my early morning brisk walks. My fingers would become cold and although I would wear mittens or gloves there was always that time that I would have to take the gloves off to tie my shoe laces. So I thought what about a longer fingerless mitt, that covered...

This is a pattern that I had created for the back heel of my Heart Clog Socks. It was fun to do and thought it might be a good pattern to share. It can be used for other projects (graph included on the pattern sheet) or incorporated in projects that you are creating. Although this was created for a particular heel on a sock the graph can be use...

The Short Sports Sock for anyone interested in knitting a pair of “retro” style sport socks. I remember wearing this style while I played a round of tennis in high school and it brought back memories. Fun to do and a great gift. Hopefully this pattern is written so that anyone who tries it will be able to do it in short time. Enjoy the project ...

Original design for knitters who are intermediate and want a challenge.
