This pattern is included in Joyful Colorwork Socks: 25 New Knitting Patterns for Fun & Whimsical Footwear Featuring Pets, Games, Food, Hobbies & More which was published in November 2024.

The Crunching Carrots socks are dedicated to all the amazing
vegetable growers among us and anyone who loves seeing happy carrots. You don’t need to be earthy-crunchy or even a successful
plant-growing person to enjoy knitting and wearing these joyful socks.

These socks are knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff and have an eye of partridge heel flap and gusset. There is a colorwork motif with large, happy carrots on the leg, followed by tiny colorwork baby carrots just before the toe
