Bobo’s Socks

In DK weight yarn, Patterns, Socks, Toe Up by Shannon

When playing around with stitch patterns for this sock and mitt set, I settled on something meditative and textural, so I can make more of these while watching my little puppy playing with his best doggie friend in our backyard. His name is Bowie, but we call him Bobo, and these socks are an homage to him.
