In a Jiffy

In Fingering weight yarn, One skein projects, Patterns, Socks by Shannon

These socks will be done in a jiffy, because you won’t want to put them down! Offered in both toe-up AND cuff-down options, the slipped stitches and ribbing move the knitting along, and the textural play looks great in both highly variegated yarns and more tonal semi-solids.
