What could us knitters love more than warm hand-knitted socks made from wool? Possibly the adorable sheep that provided us with the wool to make them! These little lambs are fun to knit and wear and have textured purl bump sections that represent their adorable woolly coats. **Construction Notes** Knit from the top down starting with a contrasting ribbed cuff, this sock includes an adorable three-colored sheep motif throughout the leg, with little purl stitches for their woolly coats.
