This pair of socks were designed for my mum. She loves pumpkin and geometrical patterns so I tried to merge together these two things!

Pattern notes
The socks are worked from toe-up using magic loop. I used the short rows heel but you can use whatever heel technique you prefer. You can also make them two at time, in that case you have to knit one heel at time.
