Textural Socks were created from the love of texture and colour! Designed with the most colorful and varied skeins of yarn in mind. With simple to create, but different textural stripes it’s a great alternative to vanilla socks for those skeins that are beautiful, but not flattering complex lace or cable patterns. Use contrast color for cuff, heel and toes - or make them in a single color. They are worked cuff-down and feature a peasant type heel.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
