dorset socks
You can purchase Arctic Knits here.
Dorset socks is part of my very first book, Arctic Knits.
The socks are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks.
