Pattern Details
I’ve been wanting to design a pair of Worsted weight Cold Winter Nights for years, and here it is! I’m so beyond excited to introduce you to the coziest fun pair of colorwork socks. If you were wanting to knit my other fingering weight version but are too intimidated by smaller needles, I’ve got you covered.

These socks are designed cuff down used with magic loop. You are able to use any needle technique you would like. I’ve also included my amazing Cheat Sheet including 3 different heel types from Heel Flap and Gusset, German Shortt Row Heel and an Afterthought Heel.
