It’s summer here in Australia and the roses are blooming.

Some simple crossed stitches have been utilised to soften the shape of the leaves and flower head of these long stemmed roses.

These stranded colourwork socks are worked toe up with a rounded wedge toe and with a heel flap and gusset.

The instructions for the construction of the socks are written and the colourwork pattern is both written and charted.

A low vision accessible version of this pattern is also available for seperate download. This version includes 24 point Arial all black text, no italics, no columns or tables and fully written instructions. There are charts included but the charts are not needed to complete the pattern.

Thank you to 1morerow, Schmuckkoerbchen and other testers.
A huge thanks also to Condichick, yarnymama and yalta for their ongoing valued advice, guidance, feedback and encouragement.
