Flock socks
The flock socks are a fun way to make the most of texture by using some simple stitch repeats. This sample is knit in a 100% hardy wool yarn, but you could use a sock yarn with nylon for extra durability, if you’d prefer. These socks are knit from the cuff down with a square, integrated heel, some short row shaping, and a grafted toe.
