Strick-ly Socks
Learn Candace’s revolutionary and simple new method, and you will never again go back to your old method of knitting socks. The toes and heels are worked flat, yet there are no seams. Sounds impossible? Yes, but so easy you will be amazed. Beginners will be thrilled that a sock can be so simple, and experienced sock knitters will wonder why this method has never been published before. You can customize your sock with an array of gusset and heel options to fit any foot. Any exisiting sock pattern can be used with this new construction. End your sock with a wonderful stretchy bind off for K1, P1 rib, even if you like to use k2, p2 rib.
