Summer and socks might seem like an odd pairing, but knitters know better. Sock yarn actually makes for some of the most satisfying knitting of the year. And the best part? A sock project tucks into a bag, a tote, a carry-on. It goes where you go. If you think about it, summer is peak sock season! Plus, some of those cooler evenings call for a pair of summer socks.
Here are five summer sock patterns with yarn suggestions to get you going …
