“Feed the birds, Tuppence a bag…..”
I knew I wanted to make socks with birds, but it wasn’t until I got this yarn that I knew what I exactly wanted to do. This multi color yarn reminds me so much of bird seed, and with the slip stitch cable pattern it perfectly resembles scattered seeds.
Use code TUPPENCE to get 10% off until May 30th.
PATTERN OVERVIEW
These are worked cuff-down starting with a simple ribbed cuff, then colorwork, then a lightly textured pattern for the rest of the sock. The heel is a traditional heel flap and gusset method. Colorwork section is provided via charts only.
