The Patch socks are the perfect fall weather project! Inspired by my local pumpkin patch “The Patch”, these socks bring to life one of my (and many others) favorite fall traditions.

This pattern is geared for the intermediate knitter due to the heel shaping (German Short Row Heel). However, there are not more than 2 strands of colorwork per round, so this is a good project for those that are still getting comfortable with colorwork socks.

There are written instructions as well as colorwork charts for each section of the pattern.

This pattern is written for any sock knitting tool: 9 inch circulars, DPN’s, Flexi’s, or Magic Loop, as it goes by stitch count. You will need two stitch markers to mark the beginning and middle of the round.
