Welcome aboard for fish girl fall! This pattern is a 2 for 1, written for both cuff down and toe up constructions. It features stranded colorwork at the cuff with special attention given for a proper fit (no one likes colorwork that doesn’t fit when you try to put in on!), a short row heel and a half stripe at the toe. There are plenty of video tutorials to guide you along the way.
