Zig or Zag
Designed special for Yarn Experiment's 2020 Holiday Box, "Zig or Zag" socks are a cozy DK weight house sock, featuring right and left twist stitches to create the zig zag pattern…
These house socks are knit cuff-down with a heel flap and gusset and are designed to be worked in two strands of fingering weight yarn, held together throughout, for warmth and durability. Alternatively, the "Zig or Zag" socks can also be worked in a single strand of DK.
