Everything is coming up daisies!

Celebrate Spring or brighten up a dreary, dull day with bright happy socks covered in daisies.

This fun, whimsical design is knit from the cuff down with an Eye of Partridge heel and grafted toe.

These socks are as much fun to knit as they are to wear. Bits of scrap yarn/ embroidery floss are used to embroider the daisies and the easy stitch pattern makes this sock an ideal on-the-go project.

A photo tutorial for the daisy embroidery is included with the pattern.
