I wanted the sweetest socks in all the world - soft, ethereal and pink! These little anklets are worked from the toe up in bouncy sock yarn held together with fluffy silk mohair. Added bonus? The silk mohair naturally strengthens the sock without the need for nylon! The picot cuff is the perfect pretty finish! They are named for the loveliest, kindest person who needed to warm her feet and so received my first pair I made - Suska.

These 2 yarns held together create what would be equal to approx. a sport weight yarn. Substituting a sport weight yarn should work well, but has not been tested so exact yardage and details cannot be given.
