Samara Socks

"These socks were inspired by the stitch pattern that looks like the winged maple seeds, called Samara, and I then searched for the perfect yarn to use to highlight the stitches. The yarn used was specially dyed with this design in mind. These socks are knit from the toe up with a short row heel and finished with ribbing at the cuff. Designed with 10% negative ease for a great fit, these socks will become a favorite."
