Crimson Forest Socks
Each season has its own unique soundtrack. Spring features the main orchestra, a vibrant concert of trills and buzzes. Cicadas sing their Summer with shrill choruses, and Winter plays its solemn, soft murmur of snow landing on woolen hats.
But it is Autumn that invites us to become its own musicians. In that season the deep forest paths and bustling city parks are covered with leaf litter that turns our feet into interpreters of a rustling melody. A playful whisper that urges us to leap onto a carpet of crimson leaves, as we used to do when we were kids.
Crimson Forest socks is a classic cuff to toe sock pattern, with a reinforced heel-flap and short row heel turn.
The pattern differs for the right and left legs. Follow the instructions for both legs, unless otherwise stated.
A photo tutorial for Dutch heel and toe is provided in the pattern.
Please, note the colorwork is charted only.
Please, read the whole pattern carefully before you start knitting. As the pattern gives detailed calculations for all sizes, I recommend that you highlight all numbers related to your size in order to have an easy overview of the pattern.
