Where Thistles Grow Socks

The Where Thistles Grow socks are inspired by the quiet beauty of summer evenings in the countryside— when the last golden rays of sunlight filter through wild thistles in bloom, and everything feels just right. This pattern includes two sizes 1(2) and is worked in fingering weight yarn. You can use any sock-appropriate yarn you like, but for the best result, I recommend a slightly rustic wool blend— something with a touch of alpaca works especially well.
