Basic vanilla socks with a fun colourwork twist! With a simple cedar sprig stranded colourwork motif inspired by long autumn hikes in the woods, these socks are knit top-down, featuring contrasting cuffs, heels, and toes. A great first project to try if you are new to stranded colourwork. (The DK version knits up quite quickly)!
