Socks of Kindness

Socks of Kindness 

Yes... that’s a dog under the sock because Sandy is always on my lap.  

Brutus is in the photo too in the top left corner.  This corner of the couch is crowded but cozy.

My friend, Belinda, discovered this sock pattern called “Socks of Kindness” and I really liked the looks of it. I had cast on this yarn and I was knitting a plain old vanilla sock when I learned of the pattern. I ripped back to the cuff and switched to the Socks of Kindness design.  The only special stitches are “knit 2 together” and “slip slip knit”.  Of course there are “yarnovers” as well.  I opted to use a “Fish Lips Kiss” heel in my socks.  The Socks of Kindness pattern calls for toe decrease which are more like decreases at the top of a hat.  I did follow that part of the pattern as well.  This was a really fun knit.

The yarn I used in these socks is rather colorful.  True story: I am not sure where this yarn came from.  It’s either from my Mom’s stash (Thanks, Mom!) or it’s something I got on sale (the price was marked down to $4.00!)  The yarn is Zitron Trekking XXL which I have used a number times in the past.  

Here is the link to the Socks of Kindness pattern. Currently, it is a FREE pattern on Ravelry:
