Free Knitting Pattern: Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks

by

triforce socks sandra singhIf you’re looking for a sock pattern to get your fall started on the right foot (sorry), check out this free pattern from Sandra Singh.

The Serendipitous Ewe Triforce Socks by Angela McNamara are mostly stockinette but feature a two-color design that goes into the ribbing and tow, and a two-color triangle design on the heel. Thus the name, I guess.

This is a great relatively easy pattern to work if you’ve never done two-color knitting on a sock. And once you start, you’re sure to want to find more ways to incorporate different colors in your socks.

  1. I just found you today. Thanks for the pretty Green and Yellow Socks, I think I may be actually ready to try that. I’ve not been knitting long, and those of my extended family live 2000 miles away, so I’ve no one to hold my hand. I have found a knit group, but it takes time to feel comfortable and say walk me through this! I saw I missed the Yarn Olympics…sigh… I’ll keep my eye open for the next fun event. Thanks and may your yarn never tangle. TA

Book Review: The Wandering Knitter

Knitting and travel are two hobbies that are highly compatible. Travel often involves waiting or time spent on planes, trains, boats, etc., time that can easily be filled by knitting, a portable and productive craft you can do most anywhere (and yes, you can take your knitting on a plane most of the time). 

Krista Ann combines knitting and traveling regularly and ended up visiting every continent in 2022 with her knitting needles along for the ride. The Wandering Knitter explores travel, knitting and learning new knitting skills no matter where you are. 

This isn’t a book for beginners, but if you’ve wanted to learn techniques like brioche, cables, lace, colorwork, mitered squares and short rows, there’s a set of more beginner level patterns followed by ones that are bigger, more detailed or required a little more skill. For example a brioche washcloth is the beginner pattern, while a brioche sweater (with unexplained exceptionally long sleeves) is the stepped up project. A basic mesh lace scarf becomes a more complex lace kerchief. A giant mitered square cowl graduates to a mitered square tote bag. 

Interspersed among the patterns are essays about traveling to different continents and what she saw there. There are also tips for traveling with your knitting and tips for reading charts, but no tutorials for knitting skills (other than a written explanation of how mosaic knitting works). 

Some of the projects would be useful to have when traveling, such as fingerless gloves, a warm headband or a colorwork hat. The travel angle is an interesting hook for a book, but I would have enjoyed essays more about specific incidents or shopping for yarn in a different country or something more than the general essays about things she’s liked and places she’d like to go back to. 

Still, if you’re looking for a skill building book that doesn’t focus on the basics but gives you some wearable, attractive accessories, this book is a good one to check out. Just maybe make the sleeves shorter if you knit the sweater. 

About the book: 128 pages, paperback, 20 patterns. Published 2026 by Quarry Books. Suggested retail price $24.99.
