These socks are inspired by the thought of Spring and all the promises it brings, we have new life and look forward to all our plans ahead for the coming year and dream of what it may bring.

Worked cuff down, the body of the sock is sprinkled with delicate butterfly stitches, an eye of partridge heel gives further beautiful texture. The sock is finished with a wedge toe and kitchener stitch.

Additional fit information:
There is some stretch in the pattern, for the sample, I cast on 64 stitches, which is my go-to stitch count for socks. My calf is 9-9.5 inches and it fit beautifully, a lovely snug fit but not too tight either.

Small 6.6 inches/16.5 cm

Large 8.5 inches/21.5 cm

Gauge:
34 stitches/50 rounds = 4 inches/10 cm in stockinette, in the round after blocking.

Yarn:
1 x 100g skein of fingering weight sock yarn.

Yarn used in sample:
West Yorkshire Spinner / Signature 4-ply
75% Wool (contains 35% BFL) 25% Nylon

This pattern is perfect for those solid, semi-solid and tonal colourways, these best show off the gorgeous butterfly texture. The pattern itself is easy to memorise so once you have done one or two repeats, you can whizz along! Of course, if you have a preferred heel and toe, they can of course be done in place of the ones in the pattern, they are YOUR socks, have fun with them :slightly_smiling_face:
