Nothing warms your toes on a cold winter day like Fair Isle socks in a fuzzy woolen yarn! Inspired by a lonely ball of shimmery mohair yarn in a well loved yarn shop, these socks will provide a great way to use up any neglected singleton balls of sock yarn in your own stash! Based on traditional Scandinavian snowflake and flower motifs, Snowflower evokes the turning of the seasons and the coming of spring. Learn firsthand how easy color work is to knit in the round! Knit toe up for ease of construction, and with easy to follow color charts and fair isle instructions, these socks combine the best of traditional style with modern knitting ease. Includes 2 toe and heel options (short row toe and heel, or magic-cast on toe and afterthought heel).
