Meet the Pumpkin Spice Socks

Pumpkin Spice Socks are knitted in sport weight yarn, cuff down with afterthought heel construction. The leg & foot are knitted in 2 contrasting colors using the mosaic technique to give the pattern. The great thing with mosaic is you are knitting with 2 colors but only using 1 at a time.
I designed these socks for a few reasons, sports weight gives cosy socks for the fall & winter times, knits up quicker, also the mosaic technique of a combination of knitting knit stitches & slip stitches, provides a comforting rhythm when you are knitting. The pattern is written in multiple of sizes, using both written & charted instructions. Ideal pattern for someone wanting to try knitting in 2 colors but without having to worry about color-work knitting.

These are the perfect socks to keep your feet warm or to give as gifts, plus you can create a few pairs in multiple colors.
