Latvian braids, colourwork and snowmen with cute scarves, what more could you wish for? An idyllic winter scene that will keep your toes toasty! The Mister Snowman socks can be a real challenge with 2, 3 or even 4 colours per round! Or, if you want a more relaxing knit you can opt for 2 colours per round and duplicate stitch the details on later. However you choose to knit your army of snowmen, these socks are sure to be showstoppers (or should I say SNOWstoppers?)!
