Traveler Shorties
Designed by Barb Brown
July's design is called The Traveler Sock and features traveling stitches, which create a lovely textured design. When Barb was asked to create a sock design with texture, she played with stitches that would allow texture but wouldn't irritate the foot inside a shoe and found this stitch worked perfectly. The top down design was created to have enough interest for an experienced sock knitter to enjoy, but isn't beyond the skills of a less experienced knitter who wants to try the traveling stitch! Barb always loved to travel so these are the sort of sock she most enjoyed wearing as she visited far off lands and met amazing people!
