Grab your needles and yarn, and let’s cast (on) some spells (socks)! The colors in this sock are woven together with helical knitting and slipped stitches to show the progress of your spellweaving as you complete your spells (socks). On the back of the leg, you’ll find some leftover spell sparkles decorating your sock.

We all know that knitting is like magic, so get ready to make some socks that are perfect for spooky season as well as the rest of the year. When you show off your socks, be sure to say, “I can do magic! I knit socks!”

This pattern is charted, and is written with a heel flap and gusset.

You can easily substitute the heel with your favorite heel, while continuing to use the gusset/bottom of foot chart to knit the pattern on the sole, as the pattern does not run into the gusset area.

Both the heel and toe can be started after either a full or half pattern repeat.

The main pattern file has larger charts that should be easy to read.

A second file with condensed charts is included. In this file, the Main Chart and Back of Leg Charts are together on one page for each size, for those who find it easier to have them on the same page. However, to do this, those charts are smaller than I would have liked.
