Berry Special socks

The Berry special socks are the perfect pick me up sock pattern which can be knit at any time of the year, whether the strawberries are growing where you are, or you are just dreaming of Summer days on a cold and grey day in the Winter. And these socks are a very special treat because they are made with gorgeous sparkly sock yarn. Because everybody deserves to wear glittery strawberries!
