Toil and Trouble Socks
This sock was designed to use a sock set by Moonglow Yarn Co, ‘Toil and Trouble’. It utilizes the 5 minis in a fun witchy hat pattern down the leg, and then some optional fun stripes on the foot. You can repeat the hat motif as much as you want and make your socks as tall as you would like.
Chart for colorwork is shown two ways, with a MC as the dark option and MC as the light option. Use whichever chart aligns with your color choices.
This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap and gusset. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be the back of foot/leg and heel. Sized from child to large adult these are perfect socks for the whole family.
