Statement

A hand-knit pair of socks is a luxury in an age of fast fashion and mass consumption. Amongst knitters, socks have a reputation for being difficult - the 3D shape of the heel turn sounds intimidating compared to knitting a scarf, blanket, or beanie. But anyone who has taken the leap and tried it has probably found that it’s not nearly as difficult as it sounds. This web-based story analyzes over 54,000 sock patterns from the knitting and crochet database Ravelry, to debunk the myth that socks are hard to knit.
