Using a combination of knits, slip stitches, increases, decreases, and yarn overs, this delicate pattern feels like you’ve stepped into a spring garden. The yarn overs emulate clusters of flowers, and the curves of the decreases and increases appear as flower stems. The design is continuous from top to toe, continuing down the heel flap.

Instructions are available in the pattern as both written instructions and as charts.

I wouldn’t recommend this pattern to someone new to socks, but if you’ve already knit a pair or two, or have a fair amount of knitting experience, you should be fine.
