I wanted to create socks that would reflect autumn in Maine, so I chose a tiny, swirling cable that reminded me of dropping leaves and a simple lace leaf pattern.

Written directions and charts are included.

An afterthought heel allows for a simple dip-dye method that mimics the transitional colors of fall. The afterthought heel also makes for great travel knitting, as the sock can be knit nearly in its entirety without having to stop for a heel turn.

Needles: Written for 1 or two circ method, easily adapted for DPNs
Additional supplies: Couple yards of smooth, contrasting waste yarn for heel. Wilton, Easter egg or other dyes appropriate for fiber content.
