Knitting instructions socks VANJA (PDF)

Explore the exciting world of knitting and discover a new way to create unique socks – the special VanjaSocks! If you're tired of complicated double-pointed needles or are looking for a creative way to express your love of yarn, VanjaSocks are just the thing for you.

Imagine knitting back and forth rows with just two needles, creating beautiful socks. This knitting experience will captivate you from the very beginning. Starting at the back cuff, you'll embark on a fascinating knitting journey. A pattern for the back of the leg, a lovingly crafted heel, and the exciting development of the sole and toe of the sock. A vibrant interplay of colors and techniques awaits you.

VanjaSocks are more than just socks—they're a form of artistic expression. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to combine different yarn colors in unique ways. Knitting in rows creates a clean look that puts your creations in the spotlight. The top of the foot and the front of the shaft feature diverse color areas, interrupted by an attractive vertical stripe reminiscent of coffee beans—a loving nod to cozy moments.

The art of intarsia knitting is child's play with VanjaSocks. The row-knitting technique makes it amazingly straightforward to create the fascinating play of colors on the socks. Create masterpieces that reflect your own creativity and attract admiring glances.

But that's not all – VanjaSocks feature clever details. The heel is generously designed thanks to a special heel increase in rows. The sock toe, a boomerang heel, ensures a perfect fit and a high level of comfort.
