Onni Socks are designed for waste yarns: you need only approx. 60 grams of main colour yarn and approx. 25 g of any scraps you have left from your other projects for the contrast colour. You can use hand-dyed speckled yarn for the heart pattern or knit every repeat with different colours - they all work! The socks are made toe up so the stitches match perfectly for the heart-shape pattern, and the heel is super easy German short row heel. Then just watch your favourite movie or chat with friends - these are made for enjoyable knitting!
