For all those who love crisp air and crunchy leaves. The Pumpkin Patch socks feature precious little pumpkin motifs and a repeating peerie pattern reminiscent of a field of gourds.

These socks are knit ankle cuff down and in the round with a short row heel.

There is one size in circumference and the length is adjustable.

Sizing
One size to fit 8” (20 cm) circumference foot
I recommend approximately 1” of negative ease, depending on your preference for sock tightness

As this was a stash busting project for me, I ended up using many colours. This is definitely not necessary though, as you can get away with using 3-4 colours without losing a sense of the pattern.

Other fingering weight sock yarns should work as well, just make sure to check your gauge!
