Flowers in Fall Socks

This is a top down, fingering weight sock pattern with a garter-edge traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep and leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot, leg and heel.

I designed these socks because I love fall and I wanted a bit of a spin on a sock with flowers. The color scheme leans autumnal, but feel free to use whatever colors you would like for a winter or spring/summer vibe.

The colorwork is stranded with 2 different contrast colors, you will never be using more than 2 colors on a round, and the floats are small, so it makes a great first step into stranded colorwork.
