Joji's Socks
Joji’s Socks are worked from the toe up with a lot of easy stockinette stitch and a little wavy stripe detail right before cuff ribbing. The beautiful speckled Olann Mills yarn is paired with a bit of mint green Aara Yarn.
This pair of socks is a very special one. First of all, I don’t knit - or design - socks that often to begin with. When I do, they often take a special place in my heart. These did especially because they are knitted and designed for my best friend, Joji. I made them to celebrate her birthday and the first time we met after pandemic lockdowns.
