This sock is knitted cuff-down and has a short row heel. The sock is one in my series of visit socks of the swedish shires. This time inspired by the deep forests of Värmland where the flower Trientalis europaea grows. Soft and slender, she tries to face the sun beams in the heavy greenery of midsummer.

It is a perfect stash yarn sock. Enjoy and I wish you a happy knitting!
