Marta Socks
PDF PATTERN
Your favorite timeless socks, the Marta Socks are the softest, squishiest and sweetest socks ever. A classic ribbed number featuring a twisted rib knit in and worked in the round from the cuff to the toe and a perfect short-row heel.
They have a super-soft feel and will look particularly pretty if worked with a speckled or multicolored fingering-weight yarn. You can use a thread of gold glitter at the picot and toe to give the socks a bit of glamour.
Download includes both the Spanish and English version of the pattern.
