Artists Garden socks
Artists Garden socks
Inspired by Monet! The Artists Garden socks are a scrappy / stash busting cozy sock! Perfect for mini skeins or to use up leftover bits, these socks can be knit as either a DK or Heavy Worsted/ Aran weight depending on the number of strands you choose to hold together. Finish off as either the Toe-less Footwarmer style or as the Closed Toe style – whichever makes your heart happy! The Artists Garden socks are knit cuff-down with a gusset heel.
My sample of the 3 strand marled version is shown in the toe-less sandal sock style. My sample of the 2 strand marl version is shown in the closed toe style.
