Winter Garden Socks, PDF pattern

About the Design:

These Bohus-inspired socks are worked in 2 Cascade Yarns – Cascade 220 and Cloud 9, a luscious angora/wool blend.

The challenging (3-color) leg pattern rewards you with easy Stockinette feet. Slip-stitch toes coordinate with slip-stitch V-heel flaps and turns, creating a snug fit around the toes.
