This listing is for a knitting pattern.

This pattern formed in the back of my mind for awhile, and I was so happy when I was finally able to knit them and see them turn out just as I had imagined.  This is a really easy pair with special touches and loads of texture!

Three sizes are included in this pattern- child large 7” / 18 cm, adult small, 8” / 20 cm, and adult medium, 9” / 23 cm in circumference.

I especially love the braids on this pair! They are super easy to make, in case it is new to you. I included step-by-step instructions and a helpful photo. It is just knit and purl stitches- nothing hard.

There are also step-by-step instructions for the easy bobble stitch that is used on the cuff that adds so much texture to this pattern.

The heel is a variation of a slip stitch that creates a subtle diamond pattern. The toe has two rows of two-color knitting, so it is great for a colorwork beginner.

The socks are worked top-down with both written and charted instructions. The pattern has been tested and tech-edited.
