• Secret Socks Test!

    Secret Socks Test!

    I'm looking for 1-2 testers per size for a pair of fingering-weight socks. These socks are a simple, straightforward pattern with an addictive knit-purl stitch motif. These socks are knit from the cuff down and feature an afterthought heel. A 4-row welt separates the cuff and leg. The stitch motif decorates the leg and instep of the sock, with the heel, toe, and sole worked in stockinette stitch.

  • Thank you so much in your interest in previewing this secret design! I am so excited about this project and am happy you're interested in participating. 

    Please note that participation in this preview is voluntary. I sincerely appreciate your time, feedback, and contribution. I do not require preview knitters/testers to post on social media as part of the process. I am primarily looking for honest feedback about your experience with the pattern. 

    Although I am unable to provide financial compensation for your help, I am able to provide a copy of the final pattern as well as a coupon code for any pattern in my Ravelry store. 

    The pattern will be shared with testers on Google Docs with commenting enabled. Changes to the pattern will be made directly in Google Docs. 

    This is a secret test in collaboration with Laine Publishing. That means that until the pattern is published (approx. October 2026), it remains confidential. I ask that you do not share any details about this project on social media until the release  date.
