“Step into Christmas, let’s join together! We can watch the snow fall forever and ever..”
Christmas can be such a magical time of year, and these socks were created to capture the joy and spirit of the holiday season! While I’ve put together a Christmas-y palette, check out the suggestions on curating your own, or even making a totally scrappy pair! Organize your needles and yarn, and join the Christmas cast-on celebration!
WHAT TO EXPECT
This design is a top-down pair of stranded colorwork socks with a single color used for the cuff, heel, and toe (C1). It is an intermediate pattern and experience with stranded knitting is recommended. That said, I’ve created detail tutorial videos to demonstrate ‘tips and tricks’ for stranded colorwork, how to make the bobble berries, and a walkthrough on the heel flap and unique gusset construction.
Because sizing on socks is important, there are some options on including more/fewer colorwork patterns to ensure the right fit on the foot. There is also an option to create a mirrored second sock.
