Leaf Me Alone! socks were inspired by spring coming, all of the leaves returning to the trees and the twists brought about by the wind and rains that help bring out the flowers, fruits, and veggies we enjoy during the spring. The name came about by my kids, pets, and everyone wanting something…
And I just wanted to knit!

Knit in the round toe-up, with simple cables and easy to remember lace patterns, these socks knit up fairly quickly and will look great in many different yarns. Heels are knit using a short row method so no picking up stitches required. Pattern is written for Magic Loop method, but can be knit using any method.
