Grassy lanes, leafy meadows, and home comforts. Easy textures and simple lace make up these verdant socks befitting a Hobbit of the Shire.

This pattern includes the Hobbiton Socks with your purchase. (If you have previously purchased this pattern, that pattern is already in your library under this pattern).

Needles:
• I used 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
