Homeland Slouchy Socks - the comfy cozy socks you’ll want to throw on and lounge in on the weekend or at the end of a long day!

Homeland Slouchy Socks are DK weight socks knit from the cuff down. This pattern is designed to be worked in two strands of fingering weight yarn, held together throughout, to create a marl. Additionally, there are stripe accents where each color is held double, along with a contrast heel and a center rib detailing which runs along the top of the foot. The heel construction is worked as a heel flap and gusset.

This pattern was designed as part of a collaboration with Lavender Lune Yarn Co to bring awareness to and raise money for the foundation, Black Home Birth Initiative. Kits are available from Lavender Lune Yarn Co and can be purchased here
