Little shortie socks. Simple, cute and fast to make, because when all your friends see yours, they’ll want a pair too!

The Flying Birds name was suggested by one of my readers, and I loved it! I think the pattern does look like a flock of birds ❤️
They are worked from the top down and they feature a gorgeous ribbed textured pattern on the top of the foot. They have a ribbed heel flap and a wide toe.
