Happenstitch Socks | Digital Pattern

I tried to take a day off…and accidentally designed this sock pattern instead; true story! I wanted something geometric and simple to craft, bulky and speedy. And it kind of knit itself! The pattern is designed to use the Magic Loop method (my favourite!) and features German Short Rows for a speedy, slick heel! No more cold feet…let’s get knitting!
