Gather your favorite sock yarn and your favorite mohair and marl them together to create a pair of perfect fuzzy socks that are perfectly you! These socks predominantly feature quickly-knit stockinette as well as a simple column of eyelets and lace to keep things interesting. Knitting up at a DK weight, these socks will be a finished object just in time for the weather to turn cooler.

These socks are knit top/cuff down, and they are not identical. Instead they are symmetrical mirror images of each other. The pattern includes instructions to knit both the left and right sock differently.

I also created a playlist of songs on the last page that helped inspire this pattern. I hope you enjoy knitting your socks to these songs as much as I did!
