Elevation Yoga Socks Knitting Pattern

I have knit a lot of socks in my knitting career, but so far I’ve never knit yoga socks. Even when I did yoga more regularly than I do right now (which is basically never, at least so far this year!) I thought about knitting some but never actually did it.

You’d think, because I’m always complaining about being cold, and me feet in particular are always cold, that I would have done this little thing for myself to make yoga a little cozier.

I guess what I’m saying is this is a thing you should do for yourself if you like yoga but also have cold feet. Self care, y’all.

The elevation yoga socks from Mirella Moments are great for yoga, pilates, and other exercises. These toeless and heelless socks will keep your feet warm during your yoga practice, still allowing you to grip the mat or floor. They are also great to wear after a pedicure.

If you are intimidated by knitting socks, you can begin with this simple pattern. Since there is no heel and toe, it’s an easy and quick project for beginners. Also because they are ribbed and they don’t have heels or toes, they’ll fit a range of feet more easily than standard socks, go they’re a great gift idea if you have people in your life who enjoy yoga, pilates, pedicures, etc.

They do use sock yarn but without the fiddly bits these will still be a pretty quick project. And they’re a great way to dip your toes (ha!) into sock knitting and get used to working with double pointed needles if you haven’t done that before. Then once you’re comfortable with this pattern you can move on to a project that has a heel and a toe (or two, I guess) if you want to.

I have probably told you this before, but I spent a long time not being a vest person. But when fall hits where I live, that’s all I want to knit, and most of what I want to wear.

Lion Brand Yarn technically calls this one a cardigan, the McInness Cardigan, to be exact, but I just see a long vest that’s open at the front and perfect for all your fall activities.

Take one look at this thing and tell me you want to wear anything else at the pumpkin patch or going apple picking. I didn’t think so.

This is a really easy project, worked in one piece back and forth in rows from the bottom up. The front bands are integrated into the sweater so there’s no finishing there. The pieces are divided at the shoulder seams and worked in three parts separately (each of the fronts and the back). The pattern calls for binding off and then sewing the shoulder seams together, but you could also hold all the stitches and either do a three-needle bind off or graft the stitches together if you’d rather.

The collar is then picked up and knit from the top of the garment, and the armholes are edged with applied I-cord.

The pattern comes in six sizes, with a finished bust measurement ranging from 36 to 56 inches, or 91.5 to 142 cm. It isn’t meant to close in the front so you can choose the amount of ease that works for you to have a good fit across your back.

This looks like a great project for TV knitting or if you’re traveling or watching sports in person or at home. It’s pretty in a solid color as shown but would also be great with stripes or using a multicolored yarn. It’s a great blank canvas that you can make your own in lots of different ways.

You can grab the pattern as a free download from Lion Brand.
