This knit showers you with creative colorwork opportunities. Featuring a flower downpour on the top, diagonal striping on the sole and a single gusset heel, these toe-up socks are sure to be a colorwork treat. Whether you are new or well versed in colorwork there is plenty of fun to be had in this pattern. As written, the pattern widens above the heel to allow for a longer, more forgiving leg, but there is also an optional narrow leg for shorties. Shaping is toe-up with a sneaky single gusset heel-flap.

Meghan from Bad Wolf Girl Studios put together knock-out yarn for these socks. Atlantis has beautiful blue and green tones with just the right amount of sparkle and pairs well with the soft silver Patronus.
