Tea Leaves Socks - Digital Pattern
PLEASE NOTE: This pattern comes as a zipped file. File includes the full pattern and a quick reference cheat sheet on the front pattern sequence.
Socks symbolize comfort in so many ways and have quickly become so much more to me than just a way to keep my feet toasty. I love the flow of a top down sock. Starting with a cuff to warm up, knitting through a leg to get the rhythm, taking a little break with the heel flap, followed by the magic of a heel turn and gusset, on the downhill with the foot and a quick toe to the finish line. And wearing a fresh pair of hand-knit socks and drinking a hot cup of tea give me the same comforting feeling in my gut.
This pattern looks complicated and takes a little forethought to assure the perfect fit, but the end result is a gorgeous pair of socks, perfect for making your me-time extra special, whether that is kicking off your shoes after work, or a weekend in with your knitting.
Please note: I will be releasing a video tutorial for the bobble stitch in this pattern this weekend. The bobble I use in the sample uses a crochet hook to form. Any bobble method can be substituted.
