Leaf Flower Socks pattern is a tribute to a beautiful sockyarn and a delicate floral motif. The sock is knitted from toe up. The sock’s exquisite design features a flower, protected by leaves at the base of its stem, reaching upward and blooming into a small bud at the flower’s top. This bud symbolizes the promise of a new flower about to blossom, a hint of future radiance. Beneath the flower, a leaf pattern adds an elegant touch. The floral motif is repeated along the leg of the sock, while the rest of the sock showcases a simple yet beautiful garter stitch, allowing the stunning yarn to shine as the focal point. The heel is shaped with short rows, and the sock is finished with a twisted rib cuff. Choose your favorite yarn and enjoy knitting!
