Lonely Forest socks are cozy anklets knit from the toe up and featuring a texture inspired by pine boughs. These socks use twisted stitches, cables, and a fun, unique bobble stitch! The heel is worked using German Short Rows.

I used lovely hand dyed yarn from Lamb Good Fibers for my sample, holding one strand of laceweight Suri along with their fingering Superwash Merino/nylon blend to equal a dk weight. You can use a single strand of DK if you prefer.

You can find kits for this pattern at Lamb Good Fibers!
