CHRISTMAS SOCKS 2023 have snowflakes on the legs. Why did I choose snowflakes as a motive this year? Maybe because I love being out in nature while the snow is falling and that the wish for a white Christmas is really strong.
The socks are knitted top down and really easy to knit. The pattern is made for double pointed needles, but of course you can use Magic Loop if you prefer. There is a chart for each size and the charts are also easy to follow. The decreases for the gusset are knitted under the heel and form a triangle that is decorative. The socks have a good fit on the feet.
