The Vintage Candy Striped Socks pattern was originally designed for Ash and Eve Designs 2021 Advent Calendar.

They are knit from the top down, starting with a scalloped lace cast on that has the appearance of the traditional candy canes. It continues with plain vanilla stocking stitch for the remainder of the leg.

The pattern is written for an average sock size but can be lengthened or shortened where desired. It is finished with a afterthought heel with instructions for both true afterthought and a forethought heel option. The pattern comes with four sizes and is easy to adjust and modify to achieve your perfect fit.
