Postcard Socks - Knitting Pattern

The Postcard Socks are made using a rustic + soft combo of 100% Icelandic wool and silk mohair. The socks feature a simple woven texture that makes the sock extra warm. I love the idea of how these would look peeking out from under your jeans or paired with your favorite sandals.
