During the introductory release, we were able to raise over $230 for Project Semicolon, a nonprofit organization dedicated to suicide prevention, awareness and mental health. Huge thank you to all who purchased a copy, shared, and supported throughout the month!

For the rest of time, $1 from each Holly pattern purchase will continue to be donated to organizations supporting mental health and suicide prevention. And without further ado…say hello to my very first sock design! These shorties feature a subtle and beautiful textured pattern around the leg and down the top of the foot, and is worked cuff down with a heel flap and gusset construction. Shorties are my personal favorite to wear and make - they seem to just FLY off the needles and one 100-gram skein of yarn is typically plenty no matter the size! The pattern is written for working with 9” circular needles, but could easily be converted if you prefer magic loop or DPNs.
