Description: Holly Jolly Socks are knit cuff-down and in the round in a 18 row repeat that creates a stretchy fabric with textured accent stripes. The heel flap is knit in a partridge pattern. The pattern is carried around the entire gusset and foot such that the instep is textured, and the bottom of the foot is knit in stockinette stitch. The pattern is written for knitting one colour at a time; a good starting point for those new to colourwork.
