In autumn the days are warm and sunny and the nights are cool, prompting the leaves to change colours. The wind picks up and the leave slowly drift to the ground, making wonderful piles for children to jump into. Warm apple cider, raking leaves, and bundling up in sweaters mark the return of the cooler weather. This pattern is inspired by the leaves changing in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in Autumn 2017.

This medium toe up sock can easily be reversed for a cuff down version. This sock can run a bit tight, so I suggest you go up a needle size from your normal needle for the socks you make.
