This holiday season, I was excited to collaborate with Robin of Birch Hollow Fibers on a special seasonal sock pattern. I love releasing a pattern this time of year. Socks are the perfect cast on for family gatherings and knitting by a candlelight, christmas lights or firelight.

These socks us a sock set in a creative way, with an engaging cuff and leg and easy, mindless knitting the foot. I hope you love knitting Winter Birch as much as I loved designing it for you.

Thank you so much for your support of my socks. Please use the tag #winterbirchsocks to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!
