The Christmas List: First pair of socks.

Standard

So I’m shopping at savers,  and there is 2 skeins of Moda Dea Sassy Stripes!   Instantly I think socks, for a teenager.  Easy wash and wear socks.  No special  instructions needed.  And they were in a colorway my niece would like.

Here’s the first sock, I love this pattern. I found it on ravelry.com.   But here’s the link to the pattern almond crunch socks.  They’re relatively quick for socks, very relaxing in my opinion and very simple to memorize.   They’re toe up with an afterthought heel.
