PATTERN NOTES
These pretty helical socks are a great way of using leftover sock yarn in a mix of colours. Recommended yarn is Manos del Uruguay Alegria which comes in a range of beautiful hand-dyed colours and is dyed by highly skilled artisans in Uruguay using traditional methods handed down through generations.

The socks are worked from the toe up in the round with an afterthought heel.
