Pixel Tweed Socks

Pixel Tweed Socks are cozy, textural and squishy socks that are knit toe up using three colors in a slip stitch garter stitch pattern. The heel is knit using German short rows. They are a fun way to play with color and the texture of the slip stitch makes them extra warm and durable. Use hashtag #PixelTweedSocks and tag me on IG and Tiktok @JamesNWatts.
