Lamplighter Socks
The Lamplighter Socks are knit top down, with a heel flap, and rounded toe. This pattern is written for DPNs but can easily be adapted for magic loop or 9” circulars. The body of the sock is knit in the main colour (MC), the colourwork is knit in the first contrast colour (CC), and the heel and toe are knit in the second contrast colour (CC1). Please note the colourwork sections are charted only.
