The Flutter Socks pattern was designed especially for the West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply Butterflies collection yarn. You can read the blog post about this pattern and the yarn here.
Pretty twisted stitch socks, perfect for cooler summer days – or any time! 🙂 (I think they’d look fabulous with Birkenstocks …) With an easy to memorise pattern, these socks will knit up in no time, and are suitable for adventurous beginner sock knitters. The heel is a heel flap and gusset type heel using heel stitch.
