Featuring a basketweave pattern along the front of the sock and a traveling leaf and vine motif in the back, the Harvest Retreat Socks are inspired by cozy times with loved ones, foraging for and forging new memories, and traipsing through autumn leaves. It is my hope that you will cultivate new memories and find solace and rest while making and wearing these socks.

There is a playlist of songs that helped inspire this pattern featured on the last page; I hope you enjoy knitting to them as much as I did.

The pattern includes both written and charted directions for the lace motif on the back of the sock.
