Walking Spiral Cap and Socks is a SUPER cute set to keep your wee one, or your friend’s wee one, warm on those chilly fall and winter days! Both the cap and the sock have an easy to follow walking spiral rib stitch that is both charted and written out. You can easily add i-cords onto the end of the cap if you need to be able to tie-it on. I made these out of Schaefer Yarn’s Nichole in Indigo, this washable heavy fingering weight yarn is perfect for this pattern.
