Holly & Jolly socks, are a merry christmasy pair of colorwork socks knit from the cuff down. A pair of socks that looked like they could almost be stockings hanging on the mantle but they are cozy too. The colorwork adds that extra warmth. its a fun pattern to work, the most complicated part is the garland section because your are working with 3 colors but the rest of the sock is easy, you won’t even have to look at the chart. I love that it looks like a candy cane!

Cuff down, instructions are for magic loop. The color work is charted only. Short row heel is included but optional, insert your favorite heel. I used 3 colors for this pattern, traditional red, green and white.

If you’re a tight knitter like me, I recommend using one size larger for your size, for the colorwork portion only. In the sample I used the 2.5, for the larger size and 2.25 for the cuff and toe.

I’ve included a very basic short row heel in the pattern, it’s not everyones favorite, but here are links to heels I highly recommend,

fish lips kiss heel

Soxploration heel

German Short row heel
