Dreamy Drift Socks are knit with dreamy soft mohair paired with fingering weight yarn. Silk mohair adds wonderful softness, warmth and natural strength. These ankle socks are worked in the round on double pointed knitting needles, cuff-down. Heel tab is worked using Shadow Wrap short rows. The textured pattern is both simple to knit and easy to memorize.
