Wrap your feet in cozy autumn style with the Buffalo Plaid Socks from SnugBug Knits. Inspired by crisp fall mornings, flannel shirts, and rustic cabins tucked among the trees, this stranded colorwork sock celebrates everything we love about sweater weather.

The leg features a classic buffalo plaid motif accented with charming woodland-inspired icons, while the sole showcases a cozy log cabin nestled beneath the foot—a hidden surprise that makes these socks just as fun to knit as they are to wear. Whether you’re knitting them for yourself or as a gift for the flannel lover in your life, these socks are designed to become an autumn favorite.

The pattern includes both 72- and 80-stitch sizes (Small/Medium and Large/Extra Large) and is written with clear instructions, detailed charts, and helpful guidance throughout.
