Christmas Ribbon Socks

**CHRISTMAS RIBBON SOCKS by Twinset & Purl** **Intro offer: Use code RIBBON to get 25% off until midnight (GMT) on Monday December 8th 2025** The Christmas Ribbon socks are my annual Christmas Sock design using Birdstreet Yarn. This year I chose a beautiful pale aqua colourway, to design with, called Iced on their merino nylon stellina base. This colour way reminded me of a certain large New York jewellery store and the lovely ribbons they tie their packages up with. The twisted stitches that I used to form the ‘ribbons’ down the front of the socks are a simple and memorable making these an ideal Christmas cast on or gift knit. This design particularly suits tonal or lightly speckled yarns.
