Jumping in Puddles

$8.50

Don your rain boots and prepare to journey back to a world of simpler pleasures, where leaping into puddles was a source of endless delight. Recall the sheer joy of watching water ripple with each exuberant splash. Our Jumping in Puddles sock pattern beautifully captures those nostalgic moments, transporting you to a time of carefree play and boundless happiness.

Worked in the round, Jumping in Puddles contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers โ€“ so you donโ€™t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
