Willow Leaf Socks

A cuff-down sock knit using five 20g mini skeins. The sock pattern is worked as a tube with an afterthought heel placement starting at the cuff and ending with the toe. Each of the 5 colours is shown in a colour block style with a colourwork leaf pattern transitioning into the next colour. What a great way to use up mini skein sets or to play with scrap yarn from stash!
