I love to knit all kind of socks but lately I love the pattern from the Crazy Socklady: Heel Toe Do Si Do. So great for all those selfstriping yarn. I enjoyed to see all your socks and will look for your patterns. I also use the patterns as I want... most of the time longer and another heel.

Recently I have been loving the pattern A Nice Ribbed Sock by Glenna C. It’s great for gift knitting because the ribbing stretches very nicely to fit different sizes. 😊

My favorite sock pattern is the hermonie everyday socks. I do enjoy doing the faux cable socks.

That yarn reminds me of the fruit salad sweets we have in the UK. I don't make to many socks, but I have bought the Gudrunstomper Gudrunsocks pattern so that is what I would make with the yarn

I am on a sock making spree too! I am knitting a box o’ socks for a granddaughter going away to university. Every pair will be a little hug on her feet from me. I have so many favorite patterns but Crazy Sock Lady’s Vanilla Sock on 9” circulars is my favorite vanilla. It helped as I transitioned from double pointed needles to the 9” circulars. I love chiaogoo 9” needles now. When I have a self striping yarn that plays nicely, I like her Heel Toe Do Si Do pattern. Summer Lee’s shorty Socks Pattern Set are really great for shorties with many variations. Lastly, Kay F. Jones at Bakery Bears is a favorite designer. I have about 8 of her patterns now and love them all.

I love to knit socks and I love to wear them. I’d say they’re my most worn knits. My favourite pattern is Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Nancy Wheeler. I knit it in self-striping yarn and it turned out great, but it looks even better with speckled yarns. ❤

My goodness - your socks are lovely! My mother, grandmother and great aunts always knit socks. I grew up watching them and I determined that I would be a sock knitter just like them. After i married and had children, we often camped at a lake near my parents farm. We invited Mum and Dad to our campsite every night for supper, so I asked Mum if she would turn the heel for me since I forgot to bring my pattern. She turned the heel for me, explaining the math, and I've hardly ever used a sock pattern since!

My favorite sock pattern is from a patron-only publication by The Bakery Bears (Kay Jones) called the "Hobbity Socks" (I think it was from their December 2022 "Knitability" magazine. It's so squishy and fits perfectly.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful socks. I love knitting socks top-down on magic loop. I use a pattern from Ann Budd for the basics (8 Stitches per inch) then change things up: different rib, different heel, colour blocking, stripes, there's no end to the variety with sock knitting!

I love all the beautiful socks! Surprisingly, I like the Stephen West socks! My primary sock knitting pattern is plain vanilla socks. The need to follow a pattern means I have to keep the pattern with me at all times. Vanilla socks give me the ease to just pick up and knit anywhere.

I would either make a Venezia shawl (by Joji Locatelli) or a pair of socks but what pattern is tough as I go with whatever strikes my fancy (and brain space) at the time.

With a variegated yarn, like so many here, I will just do a vanilla sock with a heel flap and gusset. A pattern that I've knit more than once that still works with a variegated yarn is the Drippety Drop Sock pattern by Kay Jones. Such a fun texture.

Malene, I love every one of the socks you showed today. I probably love every sock you’ve ever knitted, but I haven’t watched all your episodes yet! I am finishing my second pair of socks, and simply can’t get enough sock knitting videos, so this episode made me very happy. Since I’m so inexperienced, I don’t know many patterns personally, but I can tell you that the one I knitted with a ribbed leg nearly drove me crazy. I do not like ribbing. I totally love a vanilla sock, though, so that’s what I plan to do until I’m tired of them. Take care of yourself, dear! Sounds like. You’ve been super busy, but don’t forget how much better the world looks when you’re properly rested.

I have also begun to make an advent calender, with mini's and leftovers from handdyed projects. When I have collected 24 I will have my husband place them in a box I have with 24 little drawers.

Oh what a fabulous sock parade you treated us to today! I “ooohed and aaahed” over all of them. For my charity giveaway socks I like to knit either 2x2 or 3x1 ribbed socks with a slip-stitch heel flap and gusset (not a pattern really). For patterned socks for those skeins of beautiful hand-dyed yarns I don’t really have a favorite pattern as a “current favorite designer” which at the moment is Nancy Wheeler. I have knit so many of her lovely socks and I honestly could not tell you which of her patterns is my favorite! Thanks for the very enjoyable video. Until the next time. Salam wa sa’aadah

Thank you for a hyggeligt episode ❤ I love to knit any color work sock as it is fun challenge and they are just so pretty😊 they are not always most practical or best fitting. For great fitting socks I really like your wrap’em all heel I would probably knit a Venezia Shawl for my youngest out of the pretty pink skein ❤

What a prodigious sock output, Malene - I am impressed! I was interested to see your Stephen West socks as earlier today I bought the Westknit Year of Socks book 2024 which includes both patterns. Synchronicity in action as always. So difficult to choose a favourite sock pattern. At the moment I love the Get Shorty Ribbed by Irene Designs and also the Gudrun sock (no picking up stitches on either). For my partner I love the Decathlon Garter Rib Socks by Sue Granfield.

Tak for et dejligt afsnit. Jeg strikker sokker efter en ganske alm. opskrift altså glat hele vejen. Syntes der er så mange flotte garner som let kan drukne i alt det mønster ..

Hi Malene. So many socks. Congratulations. I would use this beautifull skein as mc for the gelato socks by Stone knits.

Det er lykkedes mig at eksperimentere mig frem til den perfekte strømpe til min fod! 20 omg rib, 40 omg skaft, shadowwrap hæl, 52 omg fod og en båndtå. Helt bare helt vanilla - gerne med kontrast rib/hæl/tå. ❤❤❤❤
