Fraser Pines Socks
I love to use colour in my projects but I’m not always in the mood for stranded knitting. The Fraser Pines socks only ever uses one colour at once using a slipped stitch technique, which makes it an easy knit. The leg of the sock are ringed by pine trees moving into a hybrid heel and a relaxing knit on the foot with a few stripes thrown in for fun.
