pattern is now available, thank you all for you patience!

Winter just seems to keep going. Everything is cold and covered in snow, and all I really want to do is get outside and see some color! These socks are all things I wish I could be seeing outside by February: bright flowers and trailing vines and leaves of spring! The front of the sock sports flowers highlighted by twist stitches and cables, while a twining cable climbs up the side and an undulating vine rib decorates the back.

This sock is 72 stitches around, please feel free to knit a a gauge that will give you the best fit.

Options for both a Short Row Heel and a more traditional style Gusset/Flap Heel are offered.
