Free Knitting Pattern – Knee High Socks

Knitting your own socks has many advantages. One of the biggest benefits is that you can customize the fit and design to your own preferences. When you knit your own socks, you can choose the size, yarn, and pattern that best suit your needs.

Another advantage of knitting your own socks is that they are warmer and more durable. Hand-knit socks are typically made from high-quality yarns that are designed to keep your feet warm and cozy. These yarns are often thicker and more insulating than the yarns used for store-bought socks. Additionally, hand-knit socks are typically made with reinforced heels and toes, which helps to prolong their lifespan.

The knee socks knit pattern is a great way to create warm and durable socks that will keep your feet cozy all winter long. The pattern uses Patons Stretch Socks yarn, a specially designed yarn that is perfect for creating comfortable and durable socks. This yarn is made from a blend of acrylic, nylon, and elastane, making it stretchy and easy to care for. The pattern is free to download on the Mary Maxim website and is suitable for knitters of all levels. With this pattern, you can create a pair of knee-high socks that will keep your feet warm and comfortable all winter long. So, grab your needles and yarn and let’s get started on creating these knee socks!

There are so many things I love about the Stacking Stars pattern from Frankie Brown.

First, it looks like a kid’s toy, which it totally could be, though the intent is to stack the stars into a Christmas tree bit of decor.

I love the rainbow gradient, which makes it all the more cheerful, and serves as a reminder that, while you can plan out your colors beautifully, you can also use your stash for your own brilliant hodgepodge of a star tree.

It includes patterns for nine different sizes of stars, from 2 inch to 6 inch, which makes the perfect pile to look like a tree. What’s more, these stars are worked in garter stitch, so it’s a pretty easy pattern, even if you’re new to knitting. And the stars are solid, so not only can you use them to make your own amazing stack of a tree, you can make more to decorate packages, use as Christmas tree ornaments, make a darling garland, or all of the above.

The pattern calls for DK weight yarn but of course you could play with the yarn weight, too, to make stars that are even larger or smaller than the ones shown. And the bigger ones are made by just working more repeats, so you could continue to work as established to make larger ones to suit all your crafty purposes if you like.

Frankie’s patterns are free on Ravelry, but they ask that people who enjoy their patterns send a donation to the Children’s Liver Disease Foundation. Through the years they have raised more that £26,000 for the charity, which helps families of kids with liver disease. You can donate to Frankie’s fundraiser here. They have tons of great holiday projects and other designs you can check out on their designer page on Ravelry.
