Plain Vanilla Socks is knitted toe up with magic loop method. Minimal configuration without gusset and ribbing makes the knitting done smoothly, and use of extra fine needles makes the fit of this sock fine-tuned and comfortable.
Different colors can be used for toes and cuffs, along with rounds of FOOT and LEG section. Also, by using helical stripes technique, which creates fine stripes in spirally shifting color change in a round at a time, this sock can transform hand-dyed yarn in a different intensity than the original colors. Plain Vanilla socks’ dense stockinette stitches bring out the unique characteristics of any yarn. Enjoy designing and expressing your own taste.

プレーンバニラソックス はMagic Loop (マジックループ)方式でつま先から編む靴下。
マチとリブの無い最小限の構成で手間取らず編み進められます。そして、極細針を使うことにより細やかなフィット感が生まれ快適な履き心地になります。
つま先や履き口に色を加えたり、フットやレッグセクションでは好みの位置で色を変えたりすることができます。また、Helical Stripes(らせん状のストライプ)の技法を用いて繊細なストライプを作る… 手染め糸を使えば深みのある新たな色合いを作り出すこともできます。プレーンバニラソックスの密なメリヤス地はもともと備わっている毛糸それぞれの特徴を引き出します。肌触り、色合い…、思うままにお好みの靴下を、ぜひ。
