So sweet for your feet at any time of year, Picnic Socks are perfect for your spring knitting bag! Worked from the top down, they begin with a pretty picot cast on that resembles a little row of strawberries. Then you’ll work a tiny garden of eyelets and continue with dropped stitch stripes. Another eyelet garden completes the toe. This is an easy to memorize pattern that knits along gently while you watch the happy Meadow Stripes unfold before your eyes.
