Pattern updated February 15, 2014: Fixed major problem with the toe, and clarified where the round begins after the heel is turned.

The colorwork in this sock is based on a random Russian embroidery pattern I found on the internet, my first time designing colorwork. A more authentic pattern would be red & white, but I went with rainbow colors in the spirit of the Sochi games. Sock is worked top-down.
