Ascona Socks
Are you tired of the same old vanilla socks in dull colors like black or dark grey that many men opt for? Look no further! The "Hubby Needs Socks" eBook is here to transform your sock knitting experience. Inside, you’ll find six husband-approved sock patterns that combine style with practicality, ensuring you won’t feel overwhelmed while knitting. Each pattern features a unique heel and toe design to keep your knitting journey fresh and exciting!
One standout design included in this eBook is the Ascona Socks. These socks boast a simple yet eye-catching knit-purl pattern, complemented by a horseshoe heel that cleverly combines short rows with a traditional heel flap. Plus, they feature a delightful star toe for added flair. Whether you prefer written instructions or visual aids, you’ll find the stitch patterns both written out in detail and charted for your convenience.
Special thanks to my talented tech editor, Cupani, and my amazing test knitters—Chicco, Puffycats, and Sandy-in-the-Sun—for their invaluable feedback and support throughout the design process.
I personally created the smaller size for my husband, who wears a shoe size of 42/43 (US 9/10), and I must say, they fit him perfectly! If you’re aiming for a smaller fit, don’t hesitate to give it a try. For this project, I used just 2 skeins of Drops Fabel, making it a budget-friendly and fun knitting venture!
With the "Hubby Needs Socks" eBook, you’ll not only create fashionable and comfortable socks for your loved one but also elevate your knitting skills with varied techniques. Say goodbye to boring sock patterns and hello to creativity!
