Smithy

In Fingering weight yarn, Patterns, Shop sample available, Socks, Toe Up by Shannon

Sure, we all have way too many irons in our personal fires. That’s why we are so lucky it takes a loooong time for iron to burn, huh? Go ahead, channel your inner blacksmith and put another iron in your knitterly fire by casting on these socks. They knit up quickly, with an easy-to-memorize chevron pattern that is elevated by that highly variegated skein of sock yarn that’s been winking at you from your stash.
