A great knit for using up scraps or leftover Advents!

The Ornament Socks are a delightful addition to any sock drawer, for yourself or as a gift knit. These socks are knit Top-Down, have a short row/after-thought heel, and a simple wedge toe. The leg and foot of the sock depict rows of colorwork ornaments that look as if they’ve been strung across the sock as decoration.

Use your favorite tonal, variegated, speckled, or self striping leftovers to get one-of-a-kind ornaments on your socks!

Cheers,

Note:** There are no written instructions for the heel. You may insert your favorite short row heel (i.e. German short row heel, fish lips kiss heel, shadow wrap heel, afterthought heel, etc.)

I personally used Earth Tones Girl’s video for the Shadow Wrap Heel for the sample socks.

Pattern DOES include:
Written and charted instructions for the colorwork.
