Festive Garland Socks were inspired by seasonal festive decorations - garlands! There are textural stripes and cable on the front, and seed stitch on the heel and back of leg. The socks are worked toe up, with a fleegle-type heel (no picking up stitches!) and twisted cuff at the top.

Due to the heel construction, where you don’t need to pick up stitches, the making process is smooth. The heel is written out row by row so you’ll know exactly what to do next!

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
