This color is so good! I didn’t want anything too busy so the yarn could really shine! And I think I nailed it with this very simple pattern that manipulates the yarn to create waves but has plenty of Stockinette Stitch to make it ideal for on the go!
These socks are knit from the cuff down with an easy to memorize pattern that is worked on the front of the leg, with a Forethought Heel.
