Clams are wonderful at any time of the year. During the summer, you can go clamming and have them in a bake. In the winter, they are great to have in chowder. These amazing creatures have beautiful shells that have been used a currency in the past or jewelry.

This pattern is for toe up socks but can easily be reversed for a cuff down version. The options are: summer short sock or winter version with a longer leg.
