Yarn Yogi Socks

Introducing the Yarn Yogi socks - a perfect pattern for adventurous beginners ready to dive into more complex lace knitting. Starting with the Turkish cast-on method, you'll enjoy knitting these socks featuring a leaf pattern accompanied by spiral ribs on each side of the instep, extending up the front of the leg.

Yarn Yogi socks feature a 24-round pattern that I’ve made as intuitive as possible without compromising the overall look. I’ve chosen the simplest and most appealing left and right twist stitches for the spiral rib, ensuring a relaxing knitting experience. With clear step-by-step instructions for the lace pattern and shadow wrap short row heel in each size, you'll be able to create these socks with ease. The spiral rib and lace pattern is also charted, for knitters who prefer to work off charts.

These socks are not only enjoyable to knit but also make a practical and stylish addition to your wardrobe. Crafted with Emma's Yarn Super Silky, the silk content provides both strength and a touch of luxury. The intricate lace and spiral rib pattern adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
