What’s more whimsical than the Rosy Maple Moth? Rosy Maple Moth socks, maybe? With two different Pink Lemonade Moth inspired patterns, there’s enough whimsy for everyone.

The Rosy Maple Socks are knit cuff down with a contrasting cast on, 1x1 ribbed cuff, all over 3-color stranded colorwork, a German short row heel, and a grafted toe.

Or for bigger, bolder motifs (and a little bit less colorwork knitting), the Lemonade Moth Socks have a 2x2 ribbed cuff, 3-color stranded colorwork around the leg, a German short row heel, a simple stockinette striped foot, and a grafted toe.
