NOTES

The Pressed Flowers socks are worked from the cuff down to the toe with an afterthought heel. The pattern is written using the magic loop method, please substitute whatever method of knitting a small circumference you prefer.

The mosaic knitting Pressed Flowers motif is worked throughout the sock- it is very stretchy which helps give these socks a snug fit. For wider feet, or those with larger shoe sizes going up a needle size (or two) for a gauge of 30 stitches and 60 rows over 4” for an 8 ½”/ 21.5 cm (unstretched) circumference or 28 stitches and 56 rows over 4” for a 9”/ 23 cm (unstretched) circumference.
