What you need to know

Step out in style with these statement socks by Anniken Allis, knitted in the round

These socks are so stunning you’ll be banishing your slippers to the wardrobe and showing them off at every opportunity. They’d even work for men, although you might want to use alternative shades if he's not a fan of pink. Despite the intricate patterns they only use two colours so are actually much easier than they look. Once you’ve mastered the art of Fair Isle in the round you’ll be ready to go. Make sure you strand the yarns neatly across the inside or you will get your toes caught in the loops. Download this 4ply sock knitting pattern today.
