April Showers was inspired by the sock set Whitney of MoonGlow Created. I wanted to play on the whimsical aspect of April Showers having clouds and a fade of blue rain falling down.
This is such a fun and simple design, you can decide to use up any scraps and really make these socks your own!

Here are some tips to keep in mind when you’re knitting colorwork for the first time
• Check your gauge and tension as you’re knitting and try on the socks as you go.
• Notes on gauge, if you have too many stitches you need to go up a needle size. If you don’t have enough stitches you need to go down a size needle.
