No matter what pose you find yourself in, a yoga socks knitting pattern will keep your feet warm during your practice.
If you practice yoga, you may have noticed that sometimes your feet get a little chilly before or during your practice. The solution? A yoga socks knitting pattern!
These patterns are designed so that your heels and toes can still be planted firmly, keeping the rest of your foot nice and warm. If you’ve knit socks before, these will be a breeze. For beginners who haven’t yet tried socks, yoga socks are a great intro to sock knitting because you can ease into the process without dealing with the dreaded heel turn or toe grafting right away.
Whether you’re in downward-facing dog, mountain pose or a crazy inversion, upgrade your practice with these yoga socks knitting patterns.

5. Hint of Diamonds Yoga Socks
Wear these diamond-patterned socks during your practice and you can admire the beautiful stitches as you breathe through some of the more difficult poses. The pattern was modeled after classic argyle, but don’t worry: the variegated yarn takes care of the burst of color without any need for a stranded colorwork technique.

7. Maharani Yoga Sock
These socks are knit in a stretchy yet elegant eyelet rib, while the back of the socks features a fun little tassel. If you want to make sure the eyelet rib has a great stitch definition and really stands out, use a lighter color yarn. The yarn used in the pair of socks above even has a little bit of sparkle in it.

8. Paradox Yoga Socks
These cables twist and turn, just like your body does as it works through your practice. The designer points out that these socks are also ideal for post-pedicure pampering, so you can wear them next time you plan to polish your toe nails but don’t want to hang out in bare feet waiting for them to dry.
