This listing is for the Desiree Diamond Socks PATTERN which is a charted toe-up sock pattern using 2 different fingering weight yarns for Womens size Medium, knitted on two circular needles with optional size 6 bead work on the front of the socks. It features a diamond pattern on the front, a different diamond pattern on the foot and back, optional beadwork for the front diamonds, and a short row heel.

Desiree Diamond Socks is named for my childhood best friend who I met when we were in day-care many moons ago!

These are Fair-Isle knitted socks and the pattern is suitable for advanced beginner to intermediate knitters.

Medium size uses: One 50-gram ball of Main Color yarn and One 50-gram ball of Contrast Color. Size 6 beads are optional - I used about 20 on the front in the samples.
