Socken "Weltrekord" 109396.1112
Two sock designs that combine knitting fun and color
These socks bring double the joy to your needles, as you can choose between a model in a mesh pattern and a version in a slip-stitch pattern. Both designs beautifully showcase the colorful gradients and create an individual look. The instructions describe the socks in sizes 36/37 to 44/45, but you can conveniently select the model as a one-size-fits-all option here. Especially practical: 1 ball is sufficient for every specified size – ideal for an uncomplicated yet effective knitting project.
Details about the model:
- Mesh pattern – gives the socks an airy, lively structure with a special effect.
- Slip-stitch pattern – provides a decorative look and adds variety to the stitch pattern.
- Sizes 36/37 to 44/45 – included in the instructions, listed here as one size.
- 1 ball sufficient for each size – practically planned and pleasantly manageable in terms of material usage.
- Colors: left color 02, right color 03
You can easily put the model together yourself in the configurator.
These socks are little projects of the heart that wonderfully combine color, warmth, and the joy of knitting.

Information about the wool
Knitting with heart and world record quality
With the world record sock yarn from Wolly Hugs, you become part of an extraordinary knitting project with heart and social significance. This premium sock yarn combines proven quality with a strong common goal: knitting to help - and making history in the process.
The classic blend of 75% virgin wool and 25% polyamide ensures pleasantly warm, durable and dimensionally stable socks that stand up to frequent wear. The balanced yarn structure ensures an even stitch pattern and a pleasant knitting feel - ideal for hard-wearing socks suitable for everyday wear.
Knit along - for the longest sock line in the world
The initiators of this special project are bookseller Miriam Cahannes, Veronika Hug, Susanne Oswald and Bernd Oswald. Together they want to beat the current world record of 35,500 self-knitted so cks on a washing line.
After the event, all the socks knitted will be donated to cold weather buses, aid buses and stationary aid centers in Germany as well as to corresponding institutions in Switzerland. The "Sock World Record" association was founded for this purpose. The aim is to raise public awareness of the issue of homelessness, create understanding and collectively donate at least 36,000 pairs of socks - for more warmth, dignity and humanity.
You can start knitting now. The official kick-off will take place at the Swiss Yarn Festival 2026. The participants will then knit together for a year before the actual world record attempt takes place at the Swiss Yarn Festival 2027.
