Dawn designed these cabled beauties to share with our beloved knitting community while—together, we are apart.

Cables drift apart and swing back together in a pattern that dances down to your toes in Brooklyn Tweed’s Peerie yarn. Sample socks are knit in Arabesque.

We are so grateful for this gift from Dawn, and hope you join us in making these Apart Together Socks, while we stay apart to keep our community safe and well.⁠

We will be hosting a KAL for the socks beginning 5/15/20, check our website for details soon!
