If mermaids had feet, they would certainly want to wear these bed socks! With an easily memorized lace pattern that resembles mermaids’ tails, Merfolk will have you dreaming of undersea adventures in no time. Worked from the cuff down in a worsted-weight yarn, a pair can be knitted up very quickly.

As part of the Folklore Bed Socks: Volume One e-book, Merfolk includes detailed written and charted instructions, as well as photo tutorials for finishing techniques.
