FO: Pucker Up
This was a really interesting and fun pattern to knit; it looks super-complicated but it’s actually not that bad once you get into the swing. It showcases the variegation of a Zauberball beautifully, and also the puckering gives a natural elasticity that’s missing from a lot of sock pattern stitch choices. I properly love these!
(It’s Pucker Up because I did the toe-up variation. I still don’t really understand cuff-down.)
