Pattern is Mr. Greenjeans. Worked in Manos del Uruguay in a red/black colourway called "Lava" Lightweight, warm and comfy. Still needs a button.
Purchased this as a kit mostly to figure out how to make a man sized version. It's cute though.

Yarn: Louet Gems Fingering, 100% merino (superwash)
Cherry Red, 2 skeins
Needles: KnitPicks 3mm dpn
Modifications: Used the twisted stitch from the Hello Yarn patten. Loved the heel turn in the Budd pattern. Discovered I've been doing toe decreases backwards. Forgot to reverse the direction of the twists to make a right and left sock. Oh well.
