Riley & Saunders are a pair of patterns for simple, unisex crochet socks. Riley is written for a traditional sock yarn, 4ply or fingering weight, and creates a fine sock that fits well into shoes. Saunders is written for DK weight yarn for a cosy boot or slipper sock.
Both patterns are very comfortable to wear, the crochet stitch pattern has been carefully selected to give maximum stretch for a sock that hugs your foot. Both patterns are written in seven sizes to fit babies through to adult male - the whole family can have warm feet!
Patterns are written using UK crochet terminology with US conversions given in the abbreviations section. Schematics are provided throughout.
