Forgotten Gem Socks utilize five colors (1 MC and 4 CC). These socks are designed to have a long calf and a form fitting foot.

Things don’t always have to match. Things don’t always have to be perfect. Things don’t always have to make sense. To enjoy the process is key. To create something with your hands is a beautiful thing. To gift a handmade item is priceless.

As sock knitters, we all have some leftover sock yarn and perhaps even some mini skeins that we simply can not part with. Playing with color is letting your creative side have some fun. Remember, colors don’t have to match or make sense or create a perfect blend.

The little mini gems that you hold onto now have a new home in the form of these socks. Take your favorite main color and add in those little mini skeins or the remnants that have memories of the beautiful past creations your hands have made.

Get ready to make a pair of socks you may not want to give to a loved one. You may want to keep these for yourself. ❤️
