This pattern is from Charming Colorwork socks: 25 Delightful Knitting Patterns for Colorful, Comfy Footwear. Released 20th September in America, Canada (Europe and other continents a few weeks later) and available now as a digital ebook worldwide.

A cherry on top is the final touch that makes something as beautiful as possible. I feel that’s true for these delightful striped socks with fun colorwork cherry motifs. How can we resist cherries, whether they are sweet and fresh off the tree in the summer months, the sour variety in a delicious pie or the warm wooly version knit on these socks?

Construction Notes
Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, this
sock includes an original cherry colorwork
pattern on the leg, with a smaller berry pattern
knit before the toe. These socks are addictive
to knit with stripes running throughout the
leg and foot. An eye of partridge heel, flap and
gusset are included
