Snickerdoodle

$8.50

Sometimes, simplicity reigns supreme when it comes to crafting the perfect sock design. Enter Snickerdoodle, a sock pattern that effortlessly captures the essence of minimalistic elegance while infusing a touch of captivating flair, mirroring the delicate balance found in its namesake cookie.

Worked in the round, Snickerdoodle contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a short row heel, 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).
