This design was created as a way to express some love and support for a special crafting friend. We all need some extra love and support at times and what better way than with an everlasting pattern for everyone.

I also wanted a pattern that I could use some of my leftover yarns from other projects, without having a gazillion ends to weave in. These toe up socks are worked with a heel flap and gusset, and, as each motif uses less than 5 g of yarn they are perfect for using up those precious leftovers or minis.

The inspiration behind this design is a great way to acknowledge and celebrate all the friendships we make and an opportunity to use more of our lovely yarns. Knit a pair for yourself or for someone else you care about.

The instructions for the construction of the socks are written and the colour work pattern is charted.
