The Journey Socks pattern

Image of the Journey Socks with the scenery of Kathmandu in the background.

Looking for a small project to take on your vacation? These socks are a great project for long journeys. Knit as a long tube, using a pattern repeat, that once you get into a rhythm with, you don’t have to think about too much! So you can sit back, get your favourite music, podcast or audiobook on and enjoy the view!

Good news! Although it may look like a lot of purls, this tube is created inside out, so the majority of stitches are knit rather than purls!

I have given guidance with measurements, but when it comes to calf length and foot length, these are easily customisable for your personal preference and fit.

When finished, slip these on at your holiday accommodation and relax!

Perhaps, show them off by wearing a lovely sock and sandals combination (or is that just me?)
