This is a top down, fingering weight sock with a garter-edge traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep and leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot, leg and heel.

I designed these socks because I love fall and I wanted a bit of a spin on a sock with flowers. The color scheme leans autumnal, but feel free to use whatever colors you would like for a winter or spring/summer vibe.

The colorwork is stranded with 2 different contrast colors, you will never be using more than 2 colors on a round, and the floats are small, so it makes a great first step into stranded colorwork.

Sample knit in size 2 with Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock in Ginger (MC) and Moose (CC1), and unknown undyed yarn for CC2.

Sizes:

Size 1 (2, 3)

Actual sock circumference: 7 (8, 9)”

To Fit: 8 (9, 10)” around ball of foot. You want your sock to have about 10% negative ease around and 10% negative ease for length.
