The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year, so of course I had to design a sock for it! These socks feature snowflakes, holly, trees, and snowmen. The soles are adorned with a fun repeating geometric design. The soles and heels are patterned, too, so every part of this sock is an adventure!

Although the design looks complex, it never requires more than two colors in a single row and has very few sections with long floats, so it would be a good project for someone seeking to practice their stranded knitting skills (or, of course, someone more experienced as well).

The design is fully charted, including the color changes for the heels and toes, and the sock construction is provided in written form.

Supplies:

Size US 2 and size US 2.5 needles, or sizes needed to obtain gauge, in double pointed needles, two circulars, or one long circular for magic loop
