Amazing Colorful Knitted Socks Patterns for Everyday Wear
For me personally, one of the most intimidating knitting projects has always been knitted socks. I was simply terrified to try it. It seemed so complicated to work with more than two knitting needles at once, and making them fit the feet seemed almost impossible to me. It was this way until I tried… And I simply fell in love with it!
If you are a beginner, it’s good to start out with basic knit socks designs without any detailing. Just try and see for yourself how it works. When you do that, slowly incorporate other techniques — add patterns and motifs that actually make socks look good! However, if you prefer staying in your comfort zone of simple design, choose artisan yarns, which come in many different colors-speckled, striped, or ombre!
