Garden Bloom socks is a toe up sock pattern using fingering weight yarn with an afterthought heel.

The design chart is worked using mosaic knitting which you only use one colour per row. To maintain gauge, most tight knitters use a needle size bigger than required as the slip stitch method may create a tighter sock. I recommend that you knit one sock at a time to facilitate the knitting when using two contrasting yarn balls.
