The autumn colours of the maples are spectacular. The native species turn a lovely orange or red colour in autumn. The Japanese maples are the latest to turn, and the variety in colours is even wider. They are the last trees to turn colour, often well into November, depending on the weather. These patterns are based on the same stitches as I used in my Spring Maple Shawl.

The socks are worked in the round from the top down. Instructions are given for working the socks on 4 or 5 double pointed needles. However, the pattern can easily be adapted for knitting on 2 circular needles, or on 1 circular needle, using magic loop.

Beads are optional.

Both charts as well as written instructions are included.
