Girls Best Friend Socks - Free Knitting Pattern

 

So you thought that Diamonds were A GIRLS BEST FRIEND, DIDN'T YOU? YEAH, WELL... DIAMONDS WON'T KEEP YOU WARM AT NIGHT, THESE SOCKS WILL! 
AND IT IS FREE!



MY GO TO WINTER HOUSE SOCKS!

I absolutely love them! I’m using them every winter. They’re super durable because of the bulky sock yarn! The relatively small needle size makes the fabric tight and that results in warmth and coziness! What else does a girl really need?! 

This pattern is free for all use, you may sell the finished booties or knit them for charity or whatever you like! All I ask in return is that you credit me as the designer and link back to me whenever suitable and that you consider checking out some of the sponsors on this page, it enables me to make more free patterns for you to enjoy!
