Squirrels & Violets pattern, ENG

ABOUT THE WORK
The socks are knitted in stranded knitting on five double-pointed needles from the cuff down. The pattern incorporates an easy pyramid heel; the heel flap is knitted in the round alongside the leg and only the gusset decreases are worked back and forth. The length of the foot is adjustable. In size U.S. 7.5 / European 38 the toe decreases are knitted in stranded knitting. If your gauge doesn’t match the given one or you are aiming for a different size, there are instructions on how to knit a round toe with just one color. The yellow bits on the flowers are added in dublicate stitch at the end.
