When the frosted winter nights hit, it gets dark in the early evening, and you just want to snuggle up in a warm blanket by the fire, it is the perfect time to reflect on your year with introspection. Henceforth, I bring you this design: a easy to memorize pattern with a thoughtful color scheme that eases you into your introspective moments.

Designed in three sizes with negative ease for a snug fit, these socks are great for using up scrapy yarns or stash busting!

This pattern features written instructions for a heel, flap, and gusset (although your preferred heel can be substituted), and is worked from the top/cuff down.

You will need 1 100g skein for your Main Color, and any number of scrap yarns or 6 accent colors (if you want it to look like the sample sock.) Each accent color uses less than 10 g of yarn!

Any Superwash Merino/Nylon Sock yarn in fingering weight would work well for this pattern. I used 80/20 Superwash Merino Wool Nylon 4 ply

I used Moonglow Yarn Co’s Winter Whisper Sock Set for this pattern!
