My name is Siona<\/a> and I\u2019m from Madrid, although the famous \u2018mojo pic\u00f3n\u2019 sauce from the Canary Islands “runs through my yarns”. It may sound a little crazy, but knitting is one of the most important things in my life. Above all, I like knitting socks<\/em> best. They seem like the perfect project<\/strong> to take with you wherever you go. For this reason, I am happy to be sharing the pattern for my Santa Pazienzia <\/em>socks, made in\u00a0Kashwool<\/em><\/a>, with you. Follow the lace stitch pattern and discover how to knit toe-up <\/em>socks <\/strong>using the Magic Loop <\/em>method. I started these socks before the \u2018new normality\u2019<\/em> and feel like they represent, in a way, the power of friendship during these times. When something isn\u2019t going well and a virtual hug suddenly appears. I hope these\u00a0socks <\/em>bring you the sense of patience<\/strong> that we sometimes need so much!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Toe-Up<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0Socks using the Magic Loop\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Santa Pazienzia<\/em> socks are knitted using the toe-up<\/em><\/strong> technique, which means they are made from the toe up to the leg part.<\/strong> This is very useful when you use left overs from your yarn stash.<\/em> For example, you can start your socks and knit the leg section as long as the ball of yarn will go for. Furthermore, with toe-up<\/em> socks you avoid being left without enough yarn to knit the toe part. If you usually knit socks<\/strong>\u00a0using the classic method<\/a>, from the leg cuff to the toe, don\u2019t be afraid! The Santa Pazienzia socks are the perfect project to get you started on the toe-up technique using a Magic Loop<\/em><\/strong>. Discover the Magic Loop<\/em> technique using circular needles<\/strong><\/a> and have fun knitting in the round. Moreover, you can knit the socks one by one or both together at the same time.<\/p>\n
