PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.

Three Seasons Socks celebrate the colours and moods of spring, summer, and autumn with engaging and fun stripes decorated with an easy-to-memorize chevron motif. Ribbing on the back of the leg makes them snug and comfortable, and the repeating pattern makes it easy to adjust lengths for a customized fit.
