The Love of Vanilla socks are designed to be worked from the top cuff down, and they are inspired by my love of colour and the need for simple socks to knit the beautiful array of sock yarn available. From self-striping to speckled to variegated to gradient to semi solids and a simple solid colour. This simple sock design will allow the yarn to shine and is the perfect relaxing knitting for on the go or whenever you have spare moment, you will be surprised at how quickly they knit up. They are knitted seamlessly from the top down with a strong heel and wedge toe construction.
