I love growing tomatoes, but I’m not a fan of eating them. That was until I discovered a cherry variety called ‘Sungold’. There’s just something about these miniature tomatoes that turned me into a tomato eater. These socks are knitted top down with mirrored slipped-stitch lines, borrowing the ‘Sweet Tomato’ heel from Cat Bordhi and finishing with a swirl toe. The heel can look a little baggy on a sock blocker, so pop it on your foot before you judge it.
Have fun with colour placement, and dive into your socks sets, mini skeins, gradient packs, and leftovers.
