This is the ultimate festive sock pattern I have ever thought of.

By simply playing with colors you can either knit witches for Halloween, elves for Christmas, or leprechauns for St Patrick’s !
One pattern to knit them all ;)
Isn’t it fantastic ?

Feel free to play around with colors and knit the socks you want ! Have fun !

These socks are knit from the cuff down with a section of colorwork on the leg, a reinforced heel with a gusset, and a round toe or a classic pointy toe (two options available).
