Tree Socks are a treat for the eyes and the feet. An intricate treescape that’s surprisingly easy to produce.

There are 2 versions of the colour work, plus a ‘no cloud’ option.
To help any knitters new to colour work/stranded knitting, version 2 has strategically placed additional ‘birds’ to remove most of the longer floats found in version 1.

This design works well with a long print colour fade or self-striping yarn. Or use 2 of your favourite contrasting solid colours to create the setting of your choice. Will it be a winter sunrise or a balmy summer evening?

Standard 4ply / sock yarn is used (quantity dependent on foot size).
