Designer’s note: I share my patterns for free so that they can be accessible to all, but if you liked my design and have the means, tips via Ko-fi are always appreciated! This helps me cover my designing costs while keeping my patterns free to download.

This design features a rainbow of colorwork fruit motifs along the sock. They’re bright, fun, and perfect for using up leftover yarn.

The socks are knitted top down from cuff to toe, beginning with a 2x2 ribbing cuff. The leg and foot sections feature stranded colorwork in the round, and the short row heel uses a wrap and turn construction. The toe is shaped by decreases and then grafted together.

Materials:

Needles:

• 2.5 mm (US 1.5) circular needles

Note: This pattern was designed to be knitted in the round on 80 cm circular needles using the magic loop technique and instructions are written accordingly, but feel free to adjust for a different length cord or DPNs if that is your preference.
