Let’s go look at the Christmas Lights! These socks remind me of driving through the town during the holidays and seeing all the Christmas lights and displays people have set in their yards and homes. Lighting up the night sky with all sorts of colored lights, reindeer stands, blow-up snowmen, and holly decorations.

PATTERN OVERVIEW
Sock is worked cuff to toe, starting with a twisted rib cuff, leading into a Latvian braid, then a colorwork section, a second Latvian braid, and finally the leg and foot are with roosamine technique for a lovely striped sock pattern. Heel is working a modified german short row method. You can choose from four colorwork motifs including reindeer, snowmen, Christmas trees, and holly.
