Do you dream of crisp fall evenings in front of the fire?

Rumor has it that the original Woolrich designer of the classic black and red check design had a heard of Buffalo. The name Buffalo Plaid stuck and the rest is history.

Wood Socks is a color work sock knit in the traditional Buffalo Plaid design with black and two shades of red.

The short transitions between colors and rows makes this a perfect beginner color work project, as your float length stays short. Carry your yarn up with each row and you won’t have all those ends to weave in when you’re done knitting.
