Watashi no Yume Socks

or purchase through Ravelry or LoveCrafts.

I’ve been dreaming about mohair socks for years! I imagined a lacey and gauzy sock, with the sheerness and lightness of a stocking. On first glance these may not appear to be the most practical socks you could knit, but these have a place in my heart (and sock drawer) as the coziest, softest, most fluffiest and dreamiest pair!
