Most of us aren’t going to fancy parties this year, so why not spoil your tired, cold feet with some luxuriously soft, whimsically vibrant merino wool socks?

Who says thick, woolly winter socks can’t be sexy anyways?

This being a free pattern meant for intermediate-experienced sock knitters, only the basic instructions and colorwork charts are provided.

Makers should know specific techniques for shaping the leg, knitting to proper length, and how to do a heel flap and gusset construction for this project.

Enjoy knitting away the winter blues!
