The large-scale colorwork pattern on these socks reminds me of dogwood blossoms. Since it is such a large pattern, the sizes are differentiated by gauge rather than stitch count; for best wearability, use lighter weight yarn for smaller sizes and heavier weight for larger sizes.

Use yarn and needles to achieve stitch gauge, and calculate gusset and calf increases based on your own row gauge.

Sizes and Gauges:
S (6-8” around foot) - 28 sts/ 4”
M (8-10” around foot) - 22 sts/ 4”
L (10-12” around foot) - 18 sts/ 4”

Yarn Usage:
For size S, I used about 300 yds of Cascade, and 210 of Malabrigo.
