These adorably spooky spoods are a joy to knit and will brighten your spooky season while being a nod to nature for any and all seasons!

These socks are written for top-down construction with traditional heel flap and gusset. I knit mine using dpn’s so the pattern is written for that, but you are welcome to use any type of circular knitting alternative you prefer. You are also welcome to knit these socks toe-up, just remember to flip the chart upside down.
