The Buttercup socks are worked toe-up and the pattern is made entirely out of twisted stitches, made to look like flowers. My pair of socks were made out of fingering weight yarn in a wool-nylon blend. I recommend using solid coloured yarn from your favourite yarn dyer.

I hope you will enjoy this pattern, and if you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact me in my Ravelry group ‘Skeindeer Knits’. It’s the best place for swift support.
