This savings will also apply if you have previously purchased the [Gia Mitts][1] pattern. The Gia Socks have all the qualities that I love in a textured sock pattern: twisted knit stitches, knit-purl patterning, and an easily-memorizable motif that results in something beautiful. This is the perfect pattern for that special skein of sock yarn in your stash, especially those that you may have picked up as a souvenir on your travels or at a fiber festival. It is a great option for adventurous beginners and seasoned sock knitters alike! **Yarn** One 100-gram skein of fingering weight yarn. Suggested yarn: Olann Sock Lite base.
