Colour: Honeydew

From: The Natural Dye Studio

Yardage: 1 skeins = 400.0 yards (365.8m)

Needles: 2.5 mm DPNs

Notes:

My first pattern for a sock. It’s a toe up sock, but with a heel flap, which I love rather than a short row heel. It’s a slightly longer ankle sock, that I find are a good length to wear with ankle boots.
