Notes

Since I already made Alexa a hat and scarf for her birthday, I thought I’d continue keeping her cozy with a nice pair of socks! It’s been YEARS since I knit her socks, and these are probably a million times nicer than the last (and only) pair I knit for her.

Her favorite colors is purple, so this colorway of Felici was the perfect choice. I soaked them in the Allure fiber wash I picked up at Rhinebeck, and they are SOOO soft- plus, they smell wonderful! I think Alexa will love these.

Toe Up Turkish cast on. 60 stitches. FLK heel. 20ish rows of K2P2 ribbing (tried to get the stripes to match up as much as possible).

Hoping I can get better pictures of them, since I foolishly forgot to take more before wrapping them up for Christmas. Will request action shots later. :)
