Boss inspiration

Beautiful patterns to inspire you in making your socks:

Wendy Gaal

Snow dancer socks

These socks, adorned with sparkling snowflakes and misty swirls, are designed to bring a touch of magic to your winter days. Knitted from the toes up, they offer a unique method for incorporating beads, similar to embroidery, but worked entirely directly into your knitting as you progress.

Nancy Pelletier

Snowstar

The "Snowstar" socks combine simplicity and creativity with an elegant snowflake motif embroidered after knitting. The choice of blue and white colors evokes the contrast between snow and sky. This easy-to-make pattern allows you to explore the fusion of knitting and embroidery, creating unique and personal pieces. A perfect project for those who want to explore new textures while adding a touch of winter magic to their creations.

When the snow falls

With its blue and white hues, this jacquard sock design evokes the serene atmosphere of a snowy night. The delicate pattern, inspired by falling snow, creates a sense of calm and tranquility, inviting us to savor the moment. A perfect design for those seeking the elegance of jacquard and the peaceful contrast between the night sky and the slowly falling snowflakes.

Let the magic of winter guide your needles, creating pieces as delicate and unique as each snowflake.
