Taylor Swift wore a gorgeous crochet dress after her London show and caused a commotion in the fiber arts community—because of course we can make that! But why should crochet have all the fun? These socks are knit but mimic the appearance of crochet and will be finished much faster than a full dress (not to mention they are lighter and wearable year-round!) It’s a great scrap-busting project, and you can match Taylor’s Version or create your own color combination.
