DETAILS
These sweet little anklets are a breeze to whip up! The Oxbow socks are adorned with my favorite knit-purl stitch pattern for just a touch of texture. They are worked from the cuff down, using the Magic Loop method with a Heel Flap & Gusset. The pattern includes options for both Sport and Fingering weight yarn and multiple sizes!

SUGGESTED YARN
For these socks I chose a tightly spun and plied sport weight yarn, but I know that many sock knitters like to stick to their old dependable sock yarn faves, so I wrote the pattern to include instructions for both yarn weights!
