My dear aunt gave me this gift of beautiful sock yarn for Christmas a few years ago. It sat as a half-finished sock because at the time I was making cabled socks and had just had a baby. Turns out, they knit up much quicker with a simple pattern. The pattern is called Vanilla Latte Sock pattern, plain enough for anyone to tackle without paying attention to a lot of details like in cables.
