From book:
“As these two socks show, whimsy can be as simple as the selection and placement of color (red socks with white and green bands to suggest watermelon rind and black stitches for seeds) or the materials used (consider anything that is the shape of yarn, even string licorice!).”

Materials
2 oz/56 g (approx 135 yds/123 m) worsted-weight yarn in red (MC); small amounts green, ecru, and black.
Set of 4 double-pointed needles (dpn) in size 5 (3.75mm), or size to obtain gauge.
