Knit in two colors of DK weight yarn, the color play in these socks creates a subtle zigzag effect, even though you’re neither zigging nor zagging.

The twisted texture is not only a feast for your eyes, and a treat for your feet, but also a great tactile experience for your hands as well. I dare you not to become obsessed with running your fingers over the bumpy texture when the socks are finished.

And finished they will be, because with an easily memorizable pattern, these socks will fly off your needles and you’ll be done before…

(Oops, did you finish them already?)
