This is NOT brioche :)

PATTERN NOTES:
These cozy socks are knitted top down so that you can adjust the foot to desired length.
The ribbing is knitted with two strands of Silk mohair held together.
The rest of the sock is then knitted alternating the socks yarns with a little pleasant stitch detail at the end of your cuff.
The cuff can be worn up to make the sock longer and show off the stitch detail, or folded down over the sock or the top of a boot for a thicker and fluffy cuff.
For this pattern you can chose, either a self striping or hand dyed sock yarn and pulling from the inside and outside of the same 100gram cake of yarn, or for a more defined stripe using two 50gram balls of contrasting colour 4ply sock yarn.
