Free sock pattern | Auld Lang Syne

Here's a pattern I am happy to share with you to greet the year that is ending and celebrate the beginning of the new one. Auld Lang Syne is a popular song often heard on New Year's Eve. 

This is a song from Scotland passed down from generation to generation and transcribed in 1788 by Robert Burns.
