Pumpkins!
Some stand tall, others squat down. Some have flawless skin, others have bumps and bruises galore. But no matter what they look like, pumpkins are a seasonal staple for nearly one quarter of the year, so take your pick! Featuring a pumpkin colorwork motif under the cuff, an optional contrast toe, and an alternating slip stitch heel flap, these socks are meant to capture the variety of pumpkins every one can find at their local patch, or even at the grocery store!

Materials:
Needles : Size US 1 (2.25mm) needles in either 9” circulars, 32”
circulars, or DPNs. I used 9” circulars for most of the sock and
DPNs for the heel and toe.

Yarn: Approx. (225, 270, 310)yds/(206, 247, 283)m/(50, 60,
70)g of fingering weight yarn. First sample was made in Soft Sock from Teeny Button (463yds/100g) in the colorway Pumpkin Patch Sock Set. Second was made using Cozy Sock from Red Door Fiber Studio (463yds/100g) and Bounce sock from Long Dog Yarn (463yds/100g) in colors Hexblade and Scar, respectively. Sample shown is Size 2 with 200yds/44g of MC, and 70yds/16g of CC.
