Part of the Sock Quartet Collection, Forzato socks feature an eye-catching geometric stranded colorwork section on the leg as well as near the toe. They are knit top down using a 9” circular needle, so it’s effortless to maintain your tension during the colorwork sections, and the single-color sections simply fly off the needles!
