The “Diamonds are Forever, Susan” sock pattern is a fun and engaging project for knitters of all skill levels. Inspired by the “Forever, Susan” colorway from Mr Stitch’s Botanical Garden collection, this pattern features a simple yet eye-catching diamond motif.

Designed with DK weight yarn, these socks are cozy and warm, perfect for chilly winter days. The pattern includes a heel flap and double gusset construction, ensuring a snug fit around the foot. This is especially nice for high arches! You’ll use three different colors, but there’s no need to worry about colorwork techniques—this pattern keeps things simple. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter looking for a relaxing project, these socks are a great choice.
