Pin of the Week: A Simple Stockinette Sock

As you may know I’ve declared this the Summer of Socks if for no other reason than I need to amuse myself. Over at About I’m sharing patterns, books and techniques for knitting better socks, and I recently came across a pin on Pinterest that led me to Susan B. Anderson’s excellent blog post about how she knits stockinette socks.

A plain stockinette sock is as easy as sock knitting gets, and once you’ve done it once it really is easy. But you’ll find yourself coming back to a basic pattern over and over again because you don’t really have to think about what you’re doing, so you can knit them anywhere, and they come together pretty quickly because you’re just knitting round after round.

Stockinette socks are perfect for building your sock wardrobe and for wearing every day. Isn’t that a lovely life goal: to only wear handknit socks? I could get behind that.

In addition to the basic pattern, her recommendations for books and other resources are spot-on, so be sure to read to the end.

As a knitter, I am always on the lookout for new and interesting patterns to add to my collection. Recently, I came across Sirdar’s TEDDY BEAR CARDIGANS IN SNUGGLY SNOWFLAKE CHUNKY, design number 5404. This pattern caught my attention because of its adorable teddy bear motif pockets, and the fact that it comes in two different styles – a V-neck and shawl collar version.

The fluffy Snuggly Snowflake Chunky yarn that is used in this pattern adds an extra touch of warmth and coziness.

I have to admit, I haven’t had the chance to knit this pattern yet, but it’s definitely on my list of patterns to complete this year. The fact that it is classified as an easy level makes it accessible for knitters of all skill levels and I’m excited to give it a try. The pattern includes detailed instructions and charts, making it easy for knitters to follow along and create a beautiful and functional piece.

I love the idea of the teddy bear pockets and I can imagine how adorable it would look on a baby. The fact that the pattern comes in two different styles gives me the flexibility to choose the one that best suits my needs or preferences.

I am excited to add this pattern to my list of projects to complete this year. I believe that this pattern is a great choice for knitters looking for a cute and cozy project that is easy to make. I can’t wait to start knitting and see the final product.
