Your favorite timeless socks, the Marta Socks are the softest thing you will put on.

A classic ribbed number featuring a twisted rib knit in and worked in the round from the cuff to the toe and a perfect short-row heel.

They have a super-soft feel and will look particularly pretty if worked with a speckled or multicolored fingering-weight yarn. You can use a thread of gold glitter at the picot and toe to give the socks a bit of glamour.

TIP! A variegated, speckled, or tweedy yarn base will elevate this design to the ‘effortless basic with a twist’ category.
