Kyllikki socks
To the village went Kyllikki,
To the hall of many strangers,
To the plays and village dances
These socks are worked from the cuff down. They have a reinforced heel, a wedge toe and colourwork at the cuff. You can play with the colours and knit the floral pattern in a single colour or add in an additional contrast colour.
