Free patterns for knitted socks

Knitting socks is one of life’s great pleasures.

I have to admit that I am a ‘mindless sock knitter’.

I knit plain socks that can just flow through my fingers without me having to pay attention to them except at critical points like heels and toes.

I use sock knitting as a way of soothing myself if I am feeling stressed,

or if I am in a situation where I have to pay attention to other people,

or if we are driving (my husband is driving, that is, and I am passenger-ing),

or if I am in waiting mode.

So, I tend to use self striping yarns and let them do the work,

or I use bright colors and switch them around for a whimisical approach,

So, even though I tend to like to zip along with easy sock knitting, I still love to collect fun patterns for great socks.

My daughter recently sent me a link for 5 free sock patterns, so if you would like some more sockie patterns here’s the link for you, too:
