Zigzag Socks

What’s so special about these socks? Two words – fit and fun.

The socks are worked from the toe up starting with a closed-toe cast on (no need for grafting) that flows into a rounded toe part of the sock. This type of shaping is very close to the natural shape of the front of a human foot. That means comfortable fit and no unnecessary stretching of the knitted fabric, thus no premature holes at the front and the sides of the sock.

Once the toe part is shaped, we move to the fun part – working in a zigzag colour pattern. It might look intricate and intimidating to newer knitters, but in fact, it is the easiest way to make two-colour stranded pattern. The pattern provides lots of tips and links to step-by-step tutorials that make this zigzag pattern very easy and fun to make.

Zigzag socks are unisex and you can easily make them in nine sizes – from a size that fits a 3-year-old kid to an extra large men’s size.
