New Growth Socks

The first pattern in the Spring has Sprung Sock Club.

A toe-up shorty sock pattern with a lovely twisty cable much like a garden path with tiny lace stitches that resemble new buds. The socks feature a heel flap and gusset construction with a wedge toe. The heels and cuffs are worked using the coordinating mini to offer some fun contrast—the perfect pattern to use up your leftover bits of sock yarn.
