Berry Basket Socks
The Berry Basket socks were designed in collaboration with Ashley from @cozycomfyknits using her Mixed Berries sock yarn. When designing these socks, I kept thinking of our family tradition of berry picking with the kids.
Since moving to Canada that has been something we have enjoyed doing every summer and I am looking forward to doing it again. The texture reminded me of a basket full of berries after a day spent at the farm, and the color of the yarn kept me thinking of all the yummy treats we prepare after our berry picking adventures. This is a very simple pattern that will keep you entertained and you won’t want to stop knitting.
