Hard-Working Sock

9 to 5
9 to 5 (2)

Isn’t this a pretty sock? It also just happens to be the most comfortable sock I have knit to date — and the pattern is now available for free at All Buttoned Up!

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to test knit this pattern for the designer, Nicole Hindes. I found the pattern to be clear, interesting, and cleverly detailed. The heel flap and gusset are sheer perfection.

Should you wish to make 9 to 5 socks of your very own, Nicole describes the pattern here, and it’s available as a free download here.

    I meant to say “sock”… I guess I’m just projecting ahead to a complete pair!
