🧦✨ Skipping Stones Socks: Tips & Tricks | Speckled vs. Self-Striping Yarn 🧶

Welcome to Socktober! 🧦🍂 This one is extra special because Skipping Stone Socks by Kristen Drucker was my very first sock test knit! Come along with me as I take you through the process of test knitting this pattern, sharing my tips and tricks, and exploring how different yarn choices can completely change the look of a sock. I knit this pattern in two different yarn styles: a gorgeous speckled yarn and a fun self-striping yarn. I’ll walk you through the whole process, from choosing yarn to knitting the socks, and show you how each version turned out. The pattern has officially been released, and Kristen is celebrating with 25% off all of her patterns during the month of October! So if you’ve been eyeing this pattern or want to explore more of her designs, it’s a great time to check them out. ✨ In this video: My very first sock test knit!
