Saskie socks is a whimsical and cute design inspired by the legend of the mooncake festival. It is named after Saskatchewan, the itty bitty dwarf bunny that has my heart.

They are knitted top-down and in the round, featuring a stranded colourwork motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. You can choose to “mismatch” your socks as shown in the photos or knit two identical socks. It includes sizes for children, teens and adults.
