A note from the designer, Adrienne Ku: I designed this sock pattern based on one of my favorite stitches for socks. I can’t recall where I first saw this stitch or if “skyp” was the actual abbreviation that was used. All I do know is that I love this stitch, the abbreviation makes sense to me and I have been using them both for years.
