The third (and last!) of the Text(ure) Me sock series is the Text(ure) Me DK, knit in two colors of DK weight sock yarn.

These socks have a fun texture and striping pattern, with pops of the contrast color on the cuff and toe. They come in 5 sizes, and the smallest size can work for older children or pre-teens.

These socks are knit with one color at a time, and both colors are held throughout the sock without cutting, aside from the color pops on the cuff and toe.

They knit up super fast, and are very cozy - perfect for a relaxing day cuddled up on the couch!
