Product Description

If you enjoyed this freebie, consider leaving me a tip on my Ko-fi!

I have designed this pattern as a companion to my ever popular Skimmer Socks pattern.

Does the world really need another sock pattern? What are you, new here?! Of course we do! I designed this sock pattern to be the holy grail; it is toe up, has a thorough video tutorial, and is sized for everyone. And I do mean everyone, from infants to adults!

Due to the popularity of this pattern, I decided to add a tutorial video so that those who are beginners to toe-up sock patterns don’t get lost along the way. I will walk you through every step. See the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/si5TtvsC25o
