“Vials filled with healing herbs and crushed flowers clink together in a leather pack. Carrying the pack is a chainmail-clad warrior who, by some sort of magic, leaves a trail of fluttering pink petals with each step. Their sword hilt glimmers in the sun and the sweet scent of roses and honey can be smelled on the air as they pass by.”
-Courtney of Apothecary Fiber Co, from the original Floral Knight colourway collection

The Floral Knight socks are your invitation to step into a delicate fantasy; inspired by a colourway collection of the same name by Apothecary Fiber Co., this all-over colourwork sock pattern is knit toe-up using magic loop and features a fun sole gusset construction. The pattern comes in 4 sizes, each individually charted and with its own unique gusset design. I also include instructions for custom sizing, including adding circumference to the leg and modifying for a narrower heel, because everyone deserves comfortable socks.
