Wee Jimmy
Wee Jimmy socks are toe-up worked in the round using 4 ply/fingering weight sock yarn. The stitch pattern is a simple garter stitch and slip stitch design worked over 4 rows, so easy to memorise. The original yarn and stitch pattern reminded me of tartan, hence the pattern name – Wee Jimmy.
