Pumpkins on the vine, smell of rich, fresh turned soil, wooden fences and sneaking eyes watching from the forests edge. These socks are perfect for the garden, the barn, the wood shed and beyond.

Needles:
40” circs US size 1 or 2 depending gauge. I like to work the cuff one size down from needle I use for sock body.

Yarn:
Fingering weight sock yarn of your fiber choice. I suggest a wool, nylon blend for durability.

You will need three or four colors, I suggest a light gray, white or light tan, and coordinating shades of green, and orange for best results. You can use brown as well as a nice contrast color. If you want your color work to pop more use solid yarns.

Yardage will depend on foot size. I have small feet and one ball of each shade is enough for me for height shown. If you have larger feet you may need 2 balls of the main color yarn. Follow the yardage requirements typically needed to knit socks in your foot size.

Gauge:
Roughly 16 stitches to 2 inches wide and 22 rows to 2 inches high.

Notions:
2 stitch markers, or scrap yarn, to mark center of heel.
Crochet hook in small size or tapestry needle to work in ends.

Sizes:
Women’s XS, S, M and L with instructions to make smaller or larger.

The photos in this pattern show a size S with XS heel.
