The Lovely Anna Socks is a colourwork sock pattern consisting of a simple but satisfying stranded colourwork motif with no float catching and all colours carry through the whole sock so there is minimal end weaving. Colourwork pattern is in chart form only.
This pattern also comes with a handy colouring in sheet so you can try out your colour combinations before casting on!

Using a peasant heel method so the colour work is uninterrupted full instructions are give both written and as a video tutorial.

I could class this as an intermediate pattern and experience with stranded colourwork is recommended, however the pattern has been made to be accessible by all skill levels and I encourage you to give it a go! You can always contact me for pattern support.

This pattern has been fully tested and tech edited.
