PDF KNITTING PATTERN. PRICES ARE IN USD.

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.
