Make Rebellious Socks

Learn how to make a pair of rebellious socks using my easy to read knitting pattern.

Hand knitted wool socks that can be mended when they get worn are far more sustainable than polyester socks from the high street. Once you've worn a pair of wool socks, you won't look back! And making them isn't as hard as you might have heard.

Written in an easy to follow way, and especially helpful for those who struggle (like I do!) with reading knitting patterns, this tutorial contains all the information you need to make your own pair of socks. From how much wool to get, to the size of your needles, this guide will also explain the stitches and techniques to create them. Whether you are new to knitting, or experienced, you'll have all the guidance you need to make a beautiful pair of socks that will be used for years to come. I can guarantee, once you've knitted one pair, you'll want a pair for every day of the week!

These easy to follow instructions will ensure that even if this is your first go at knitting socks, you'll be able to create a pair of socks to be proud of and rebel against fast fashion at the same time.
