Cuppa Tea socks are all my favorite basic sock elements; 1x1 ribbing, eye of partridge heel, and a round toe. A simple slipped stitch along the back is a nod to 40s and 50s fashion, another favorite!
This pattern can be worked in a single color, with a contrasting heel and toe, or even in stripes, but variegated and heavily speckled yarns will drown out the slipped stitch detail. The pattern is available in 5 sizes and only needs 100g or less of fingering weight yarn.
