Good Tidings Socks are the perfect cozy project to cast on during the holiday season for interesting, yet comforting knitting in-between the hustle and bustle. The simple garter rib pattern is broken up by a single row of purling throughout to make for an easily memorizable pattern. The pattern includes 3 sizes, written top down with a slip stitch heel flap and Kitchener toe. Choose a contrasting mini skein to work different colored cuffs, heels, and toes for just the right pop of fun, or work the socks in all one color. This pattern can also work for variegated yarns, but be aware that it may obscure some of the texture.
