Description
It’s hot outside and time for an easy summer knit! Let the fun yarn colors in these Watermelon Slice Socks do most of the work, and you’ll have some cool new socks before you know it! These Watermelon Slices are constructed toe up, starting with the watermelon rind. The foot and leg of this design feature a simple stretchy stitch pattern that you can speckle with watermelon seeds as you knit. This pattern uses our favorite no-flap gusset heel, and is topped off with some more watermelon rind around the cuff. This pattern is written for three adult widths, and the instructions are provided in text and chart for DPN, Magic Loop, and Two Circular Needle methods. Beading is optional in case you prefer seedless watermelons :-)
