Lemon Squeezy

$7.00

Introducing Lemon Squeezy, a delightful sock pattern that embraces remarkable simplicity with effortless grace. Designed to be easily committed to memory, it becomes your perfect companion for idyllic summer road trips, leisurely beach afternoons, or even cosy evenings of TV knitting.

Like the classic โ€œeasy peasyโ€ phrase, Lemon Squeezy exudes a refreshing simplicity reminiscent of a lemon squeeze on a hot day. Let the rhythm of the stitches soothe your soul as you knit your way through this charming pattern, experiencing the pure joy and relaxation of knitting enjoyment. So kick back, grab your needles, and let Lemon Squeezy whisk you away to a world of knitting bliss.

Worked in the round, Lemon Squeezy 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).
