Marshmallow socks are filled with delicious curly cables. The socks are worked cuff down and feature a Strong heel which doesn’t require any picking up of stitches. The pattern is written for magic loop technique, but you can work the socks with dpns if you wish. As the child size requires moving some stitches from one needle to the other, I wouldn’t recommend working two at a time.
