This pattern was inspired by the early summer garden, full of promise and green brilliance! I have always found pea shoots especially delicate, and wanted to design a motif that would bring them to mind, as if they were climbing all along your socks. In full length or in their shortie version, I hope these make you smile and become your favourite gardening socks!

This pattern includes a mid-calf version as well as a shortie (ankle) version.

This pattern is written and charted, and knit cuff/top down.
