Sock Knitting - What to do with all this fabulous yarn?

February 13, 2022

Be inspired with free sock patterns!

If you've visited our Yarnovision Sock Collection, you may have ended up with a one (or more) sock sets in your cart. (Don't know what Yarnovision is? Go check out the blog post that explains why I've made a collection based on the best song competition ever.) Great! But now, the question may be, how exactly do I go about knitting socks? If you are, like me, an infrequent sock knitter at best, then you may be a little lost as to what kinds of patterns will work best with these yarns.

Don't worry! I'm here to curate a list of free sock patterns that will work with most if not all of our Yarnovision sets. I've included links to the sets I think would work best, but they are just suggestions! The world of sock knitting is wide and varied, and we're just helping you to get your toes a little wet in the pool. Let's take a look at some patterns!
