These socks are reminiscent of my childhood. I see bangle bracelets, Rainbow Brite dolls, Slinkies, and those big spiral suckers from the carnival. They make me want to pull on my oversized mismatch sneakers and scoot on down to the roller rink.

Slinky socks are designed to be knitter friendly. There is not a single purl stitch, the swirl toe gives you a graph free finish, and the heel is replaceable so your precious hand knit socks can be enjoyed for years to come.

This pattern is available free in the April 2006 issue of Magknits.
