Pattern designed in collaboration with The Yarn Bar, Billings MT. It is only available to those participating in Soxies 2024 at The Yarn Bar. Pattern will be available for everyone to purchase after April 12, once Soxies are over.

This design has a martini glass motif that runs down the outside front edge of each sock. There are directions for both a right sock and a left sock so the motif lines up in the proper spot. Enjoy this fun textured design while you have a beverage of choice during your happy hour.

This is a top down, fingering weight sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; N1 will be front of foot/instep and leg, and N2 will be back of the foot, leg and heel. There is a contrast color that is used for the cuff/heel/toe and a main color for the body of the sock.
