A bit about the sample socks:
When I was younger (and more adventurous) I spent a month back-packing through Italy … alone! It was a once-in-a-lifetime trip and this pattern was inspired by the beautiful marble columns that support the ancient buildings in the Roman Forum. The red version was knitted with a red tonal yarn as the main and a wonderful multi-color as the contrast. These socks feature a center cable and rows of alternating stitches between the cables.

Medium size uses One (1) 50-gram ball of Main Color, One (1) 50-gram ball of Contrast color.
