I made these socks for the daughter of the co-worker I gave these socks to. I finished to socks on Friday.

The socks were made of fingering weight superwash Merino wool using 48 stitches with the pattern consisting of 12 stitches. The pattern can be modified for larger sizes by simply adding an extra stitch to the moss pattern and an extra stitch to the stockinette pattern.

(The second photo links to a larger version of the picture which shows the spiral to marginally better effect.)

!! Happy New Year !!

May the best day of 2006 be the worst day of 2007!
