Buffalo Beaded Socks

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A134

buffalo in Yellowstone Park

Buffalo down is a soft yet sturdy fiber worthy of pampering our feet. Add some beads and a pretty lace pattern, and you'll have a luscious pair of Buffalo Beaded Socks to treasure for traveling across the plains or anywhere.

To left — The old buffalo bull that led our procession down the road in Yellowstone Park; photo taken through car window as I drove by. Later the bull stopped to graze at side of road.
