The sunflower is probably one of the most beloved flowers in the world. There is just something about their size and colour and sheer exuberance that makes people happy! Wear these socks to bring warmth to your feet as well as a smile to your face!

Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 23 cm/9”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used for the two different versions, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

One ball of each colour of the suggested yarn is enough for a pair of socks, provided you knit the suggested gauge. If you are knitting bigger you will probably need an extra ball of the main colour. Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles work as well if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Duplicate stitching is utilized to add detail to the sunflowers, without you having to carry more than two colours at a time.

Pattern is available in English and Swedish.

Techniques used: German Short Row Heel, Stranded Colourwork, Kitchener Stitch, Duplicate Stitch.

The pattern has links to my accompanying videos on Youtube which explain some of the technical aspects of the work (in English with English or Swedish subtitles): How to work with magic loop, how to create the heel, how to sew the kitchener stitch, how to sew the duplicate stitches.
