Cymru Socks

About This Pattern

Inspired by historic Welsh stockings and modern Welsh wool, these colorful socks are worked in the round from the top down in surprisingly easy stripe motifs. The beginning of round will shift several times, which distributes the yarn ends resulting from the color changes.
