Densmore

These socks are a relaxing, two-color project. Simple to knit but with just enough detail to hold your attention. The leg features a tartan-style plaid pattern of intersecting horizontal and vertical stripes that create overlapping square grids. This pattern is perfect for using mini skeins or scraps from previous projects. It also includes an Eye of Partridge heel and gusset construction, complete with a rounded toe.
