Actually, I’m thinking of not doing any Christmas knitting this year! However, I could use a pair of pedicure socks myself – and maybe I’ll make a pair for my sister for her birthday….
Funniest socks I have ever seen! And considering who made up the design, of course, I am not at all surprised. Staci and her pooches are one crazy team and I am growing to love her more and more as I visit this web site and view her photos and wonderful knitting style. I thought Lucy Neatby was my home girl, but…..I was wrong. I am switching to Staci. So….. Lucy take that!
Are you able to knit these yoga socks with round needles?
Hi Julie – if you are comfortable using the magic loop method, these (and any small tube) can be knit using long circulars:

Hi Staci, I have knitted the yoga socks on dpn’s and now want to try the magic loop method. How do I handle the break for the heel hole?
BTW…I love these socks!
Hi Staci–As Christmas gifts for all of my sister and girlfriends, I have decided to knit these socks and, if time permits, a pair of fingerless gloves. After all, if someone is going for a pedi, chances are they’re going to get a mani too, and a pair of matching fingerless gloves would be perfect! Which one of your fingerless glove patterns would best go with these? Can you also tell me how much yarn is actually used for each pair of socks. Is there any left over yarn from the hank to get out a matching pair of gloves? Thanks for all your help. And as always, keep up the great work!

Hi Erika – thank you for the note. I think Easy Fingerless Mitts will go best with these socks, since they’re knit with the same weight of yarn:

I don’t have a pair of these finished socks here to weigh them, but you will for sure have plenty of yarn left over from a 100 gram skein to knit the mitts, too.
Hope that helps!
