Socken "Weltrekord" 109396.1314
Two sock designs with sophisticated textures and vibrant color effects
These socks show just how much variety can be found in a single ball of yarn. You have the choice between a model in a slip-stitch pattern and a version in a swirl pattern – both showcase the color gradients beautifully and provide engaging knitting fun. The instructions are designed for sizes 36/37 to 44/45, but you can easily offer the model in the shop as a one-size-fits-all. Especially nice: Only 1 ball of yarn is needed for each size, so you can get started right away with a manageable amount of materials.
Details about the model:
- Slip-stitch pattern – creates an expressive texture and makes the colors appear particularly vivid.
- Swirl pattern – brings movement to the stitch pattern and gives the socks a decorative, dynamic look.
- Sizes 36/37 to 44/45 – the instructions cover several sizes, thereby offering plenty of flexibility.
- Can be used as one-size-fits-all – ideal if you want to offer the model in a simple and customer-friendly way.
- 1 ball per size – makes the project pleasantly manageable and easy to plan.
- Colors: right color 05, left color 06
In the configurator, you can easily put the model together yourself.
These socks are little feel-good projects that combine color, creativity, and warmth in a particularly beautiful way.

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.

-
