PLEASE NOTE: Our previous versions of this pattern used our Posy yarn, which is no longer available, and US 0 (2mm) needles. These versions used 2-3 skeins of Posy for the Main Color, and a different color of Posy each for the Cuffs, Heels, and Toes. For more on those versions, visit the original posts here and here!
