Italy has a long coastline in the Mediterranean Sea. I love winter walks by the sea. The colors are often more green and beige and the mist arises from the waves. The waves create lines to the sand, and with every wave, the lines become different shapes. Winter waves often create bubbles when hitting the beach.

Spuma shortie socks are knit toe up with a heel flap. They are perfect for warmer weather. The Spuma lace covers the instep and front leg. German short rows are used to create the heel turn. Italian Tubular BO finishes the cuff. The instructions are written for the Magic Loop method.
