DESCRIPTION

The Mila Socks are a sister pattern to the Mila Sweater. I created them as a fun way to play with color, pattern, and to use up leftover yarn from the Mila Sweater. These socks are knit from the top cuff down to the toes and feature an afterthought heel. Charts are used for the stranded color work and the foot length is customizable.
