The Snowflake Socks are knit from the toe up with colourwork on the foot and leg, and a texture stitch in between.

The pattern has a wedge toe and a Wrap and Turn short row heel, however the heel and toe can be changed to your own choice. They are knit using the magic loop method but can be adapted to suit dpns.

The pattern has written instruction and charts for the colourwork.
