It’s officially spring! The seedlings are popping up everywhere, from overwintered seeds that self sowed the autumn before. Everything in the garden is waking up and something new pops up everyday throughout spring.

These socks were inspired by all the little seedlings that sprout. The sock is textured with 3 stitch cables that are off set. Creating a lovely seedling look when knit from the toe up. The pattern uses a chart and written instructions and is written using the magic loop method for socks. You will need to be familiar with the Turkish Cast on and the sewn bind off for the toe up version. A cable needle helps with the cables but the cables can be done without one as well. I used all of the 50 gram skein of yarn for a pair of socks. You may need more or less depending on your own feet. Instructions now include the cuff down version as well.
