Play ball! We couldn’t have a Charm City collection without an homage to the heart of Baltimore sports, the Orioles. Camden Yards’ main gate is on Eutaw Street, and I’ve spent many a night there, joining the throngs of fans in black and orange.
Knee high, as baseball socks should be, these socks feature offset ribbing at the cuff and garter stitch boot straps that run the length of the leg and travel down the foot. Worked from the cuff down, this is a great pattern for team colors, self-striping yarn or using up leftovers.
