Show your sheepy love! A worthy partner to my popular Sheep Shuffle Mitts pattern, these socks will keep your toes warm while celebrating your love for all things woolly.

Inspired by the beautiful new Exmoor Sock yarn from John Arbon, these stranded socks use a fun motif to give impressive results. Starting with a twisted rib cuff, knitting continues down the leg using a simple chart. The toe is closed with Kitchener Stitch, and the afterthought heel uses spaced decreases for a beautiful swirl.

Written for 5 sizes, the pattern includes links to length and sizing charts, so you can adjust to give a perfect fit for the wearer.

Choose a main colour and a single contrast colour for a sophisticated look, or up to 12 CCs for a fun rainbow of sheepy goodness. These are also a great stashbusting project.
