Wova Socks

Enjoy a simple, rhythmic pattern that’s easy and fun to knit, resulting in a gorgeous, woven fabric look.

Choose to knit them toe-up or cuff-down: the instructions for both options are included to suit your preference.

This project is a great stash-buster; all you need is a bit of variegated yarn and a solid-color yarn to complement it, making it a rewarding way to use up your leftover yarns.
