Harebell is a flower very common in Finland and it grows even in the Northern Lapland.

This pair of socks is knitted toe up and the pattern comes with a forethought heel.
The pattern is written for the magic loop method, but can be adjusted for dpn’s.

The Ladder-Back Jacquard technique is used in the colorwork section and the fabric is thus stretchier than stranded colorwork would produce. If you knit stranded colorwork you might need more stitches or bigger needles.
