Lina Embroidered Socks by Cathy Carron

Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).

Socks are knit from cuff to toe with an afterthought heel. Instructions are written for dpns but can be adapted to any type of needles appropriate for sock knitting. If using dpns, any length may be used, however, shorter ‘sock needles’ are easiest to maneuver because the stitches won’t easily slip out of the work and the needles not in use don’t get in the way. Sock needles are lighter weight as well.
