Enjoy 25% off all of my patterns through June 19, 2023 with code bday to help celebrate my birthday!

I designed these socks when I got my first month of mystery yarn from The Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Sock Squad. It looked wintery and icy, so these socks were born.

This is a top down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of the foot/leg and needle 2 will be the back of the foot/leg and heel. I’ve used a contrast color for the cuff and toe, but this sock would look just as good in a single color, so feel free to omit if you want. If you have a wider calf, moving up a needle size for the cast on and first 2-3” of the leg may help the socks to stay up on your leg.
