Vanilla Twist Socks
Put a twist on the classic vanilla sock by marling two light fingering yarns. Mix and match sock components along the way to get your perfect pair. Construction involves working cuff-down, a German short row heel, and a basic wedge toe. The tight gauge creates a fabric somewhere between a fingering and DK weight, making these socks perfectly squishy and warm, while still fitting into all your favorite shoes.
