Symbolism
Isle of Sunshine symbolizes the radiance of happiness and boundless possibilities fostered by the power of positivity and optimism, something joyfully experienced during walks along Lido Beach in Sarasota, Florida. The sock colors were inspired by flowers gathered along the way and are a perfect match to the Isle of Sunshine Hat and FREE Mini Cowl.

Highlights
Isle of Sunshine Socks are knit in the round from the cuff down. The height and foot length can be adapted by adding or deleting charts and/or using larger or smaller needles. Consider self striping yarn to make the Fairisle easier or select 5 contrasting colors for an even more striking result. The sock will fit most teens and adults.
