remember the yarn that was too thick for mitts? I'm making a pair of spiral socks instead! they're gonna be so cozy 🥰
when I learned about this unique sock construction, I had to give it a try. it uses spiral ribbing to hug the heel and can be put on in any direction so it wears evenly.

Do you have a pattern?💥
i read a couple other people's patterns and notes to get a general idea of construction and then did my own thing.
I cast on the number of stitches for my foot circumference. rounded down to the closest multiple of four. knit 2x2 rib for about 2 inches and then knit the 2x2 spiral rib. the spiral shifts one stitch to the right or left every 6 rows.
for the toe, I did the same kind of decrease you'd do at the top of a hat.
I hope that helps!
😍😍😍😍 love the spiral rib
Calling an audible. When socks get thick as uggs they shall be called ‘Smittens.’
