Feed the Birds socks

“Feed the birds, tuppence a bag...” I knew I wanted to make socks with birds, but it wasn’t until I got this yarn that I knew what I exactly wanted to do. This multi color yarn reminds me so much of bird seed, and with the slip stitch cable pattern it perfectly resembles scattered seeds. _______________________________ **PATTERN INFORMATION** Sock is worked cuff-down starting with a simple ribbed cuff, then colorwork, then a slip stitch cable pattern for the rest of the sock.
