The One Fine Day Socks

Slouchy socks with a long leg knit in thin sock yarn. The delightful pattern reminds us of hugs and warm hearts.

Women size.
Adjustments on sizes can be done by choosing a thicker yarn or smaller needles.

This is a 3 color pattern.
70 g color 1
15 g color 2
5 g color 3

I highly recommend Fortuna sokkegarn, other yarns that can work well are for example; Rauma 2ply Gammelserie, Arwetta Classic by Filcolana, amongst other Fingering weight yarns.

Notions;
Cable needle, stitchmarkers, measuring tape, darning needle, scissors.
