Spring wildflowers in Victoria make it one of my favourite times to be outside. This sock design reminds me of blooms like camas, calypso orchids, and seablush in a sea of green grasses against a warm blue sky. Enjoy a springtime meadow right on your needles and wear it on your feet all year long.

This pattern was originally the July pattern for the Gauge Dye Works Summer 2020 Yarn + Pattern Club. It’s now available to everyone. Get the yarn from Gauge Dye Works. Other colours are also available.
