This pattern is the March pattern and is available as a kit through the Black Sheep Hoppy Feet Sock Club.

It’s so cold and dreary in March. I knew as I was designing this sock that I needed a bit of a pick-me-up. I needed a sock to help me get through the monotony of rain, rain, and more rain in Oregon.

March is when I start to dream of sunshine, sandy beaches, and turquoise waters. What better way to dream of the caribbean than with a skein of Caribbean Cooler? And as long as we’re dreaming of the Caribbean, we should have a fun stitch pattern to go with it.

This pattern is meant for an adventurous novice to intermediate knitter. Please read the entire pattern before beginning.
