French Vanilla Cappuccino Socks

**French Vanilla Cappuccino Socks** **Available [on Etsy][1] & [on Payhip][2]** Released on Thursday, 17-March-2016, as part of [Coffee With C.C. ~ A 7 Pattern Caffeine Inspired Knitting Collection][3] ~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲ I can guarantee you that 99.9999999% of the time, I have a vanilla sock on the needles. I've knit so many pairs that I could probably knit one in my sleep. But let's not test that. Holding knitting needles while asleep probably isn't a great idea. ;-) A vanilla sock pattern is the perfect place for a beginner sock knitter to start. But it's also a great solution for advanced sock knitters who want to add in a cable or lace that you've found in another pattern. I prefer to knit my socks on what I've affectionately named Zoom Zoom Needles [9” (23cm) circular]. I renamed them because you can just zoom zoom round in circles. I knit the toe using magic loop and the zoom zoom needles for the rest of the sock. In this pattern, you'll find both toe-up and cuff-down instructions for knitting a basic vanilla sock. So grab your french vanilla cappuccino, your needles, and your yarn so we can cast on! Happy Knitting! ~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲~✲ These socks are knit using the magic loop method (although the purchaser could easily adapt it for two circulars or double points). This pattern includes both toe-up and cuff down instructions. Judy’s Magic Cast On and Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind Off are used in this pattern for the toe-up sock. German Twisted Cast-On and Kitchener stitch is used in this pattern for the cuff down sock. The knitter needs to be comfortable with the following techniques: knit, purl, ktbl, k2tog, ssk, M1R, M1L, & W\+T. Instructions for all these techniques are included in the pattern. In addition, [a video tutorial for the shadow wrap technique of W\+T for short rows][4] has been recorded by the designer. This pattern includes instructions in written form for 56 stitch, 64 stitch, and 72 stitch socks.
