Repose Socks

This pattern was originally published with Knit Crate, but is now independently published!

At the end of a long day of work, you’re usually dirty, tired, and looking forward to putting up your feet. Repose is a pattern that is as relaxing to knit as it is to wear. They’re perfect for a cool evening after a long day of work but are still functional when you need to pop your boots back on for evening chores.
