Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
The perfect socks for springtime, this fabulous footwear plays with Lemonade Shop mini-skeins to create a vibrant floral arrangement. Beginning at the cuff and working their way down to the foot, these socks are quite contrary from a typical colorwork sock. Mosaic knitting uses strategically slipped stitches so that only one color at a time is worked across each row. Frequent color changes are interspersed with a main color for an eye-catching effect. A slip-stitch heel and slipped stitches continued along the sole of the sock create a durable pair of socks that will last long after the blossoms of the season are gone.
