Christmas Capers Socks
Inspired by, and named for cheeky Christmas shenanigans.
These cheerful socks mirror that feeling of light-hearted joy and mischievousness when we embrace our inner child and delight in the fun of Christmas capers and merriment.
They are worked in the round from the cuff down, and feature simple stripes and colour blocking.
The pattern is provided with written instructions only.
