Spring is in the air and it is my favorite season! I love these days when the sun is starting to feel warmer, it slowly stops raining (hopefully) and the wind is finally winding down. The world looks so much more colorful and vibrant in spring. So let these vibrant colors and happiness be the main ingredients for this pair of socks!

CONSTRUCTION NOTES

Tweet Socks are knitted top down and seamlessly. First you knit the twisted rib cuff and continue knitting the leg using the fair isle pattern chart A found on the last page. Continue in chart B until the desired length of the leg. Then shape the heel with German short rows. The foot is knitted in chart B again. Finish the socks by shaping the toes.
