Carrots socks

$5.99

Wouldn’t it be great to have a garden plot full of fresh and crispy carrots?
Unfortunately I am not blessed with green fingers but the carrots I tried to grow were immediately eaten by small worms, even before they ripened, hahaha!
So if I’m going to get some lovely carrots to sink my teeth into, I’ll have to go to the market and buy them, or I can make myself some carrot socks! This is how designer Anna Friberg describes her pattern Carrots socks. If you want to follow Anna on Instagram, you can find her at @yarnesty.
