My favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, but I often step out of my comfort zone and choose pistachio or chocolate. There’s never too much choice when it comes to ice cream! The same applies to socks.

Bourbon suggests you create your own favorite sock recipe, or spice up your knitting a bit by mixing different ribs, heels and toes.
Bourbon is a classic stocking stitch sock pattern offering different flavors and trims: two types of rib, two heels and three toe shapes, all available in both knitting directions, i.e. cuff-dwn or toe-up.
