Westknits Year of Socks 2026

Welcome to Westknits Year of Socks 2026! I can't wait for another year filled with colorful sock designs. You will receive an automatic PDF update at the beginning of each month, starting with the first pattern called Smock o'clock Socks in January. The January sock will require just one skein of solid or semi-solid fingering weight sock yarn. The other designs will vary between one-color, two-color, or multi-color stashbusting socks for leftovers and mini skeins. Some designs will also feature self-striping yarn. Stock up on your favorite sock yarns for the year and get ready for lots of different techniques like smock stitches, slip stitches, cables, shorts, a bit of brioche, modular knitting, simple relaxing patterns, and more!

Check out all of the socks featured in the previous Year of Socks 2025 collection here! The 2025 individual pattern PDFs will be available on January 7 if you have your eye on any of those single patterns from the 2025 collection.

Shown In

The Mohair Mobile Shawl was inspired by the architectural sculptures of Alexander Calder. Choose 200g of fingering weight yarn for the main color. The main color acts as the frame or anchor of the palette. Add five contrasting colors of lace weight mohair silk, 25g each color, like West Wool Glowhair. The mohair colorpops float throughout the fabric with ethereal stripes and fluffy marled sections. Sometimes mohair is used on its own and other times one strand of mohair is held together with the fingering weight main color.

The modular shawl begins in the center with a fun I-cord and short row detail. Stitches are picked up for tiny bobble stripes and mohair marled ridges. Then, the shawl decreases toward the top center with marled garter stitch and cables. A final border is knitted sideways with short rows, cables, and mohair mesh sections. Each section includes step by-step video tutorials demonstrating all of the techniques to knit this wearable work of art.
