Product Description
Feverfew socks were inspired by the tiny white flowers we have growing wild in a corner of our property. In our harsh, high desert environment they are a favorite spot of green that reseeds and comes back every year. These socks are traditionally constructed cuff-down, flap-heel, wedge-toe striped socks with a just a touch of colorwork. They’re interesting enough to keep you knitting, but once you’re done with a few rows of stranded knitting, the stripes are simple enough to make this a project you can take along and work on anywhere.
The pattern is charted for the stranded colorwork portion with written instructions for the rest of the sock.
These socks have a moderate amount of stretch.

What Is Being Made
Feverfew Socks are a pair of traditionally constructed cuff-down socks inspired by the tiny white flowers of feverfew plants growing wild in a high desert environment. These socks feature a distinctive stranded colorwork design paired with striped sections, a flap heel, and a wedge toe construction.
Knitting Techniques
This intermediate-level knitting pattern employs several key techniques:
- Stranded colorwork: The pattern uses charted stranded colorwork for the decorative portion, allowing knitters to work with multiple colors simultaneously to create the intricate feverfew flower motif
- Cuff-down construction: Socks are worked from the cuff downward toward the foot
- Flap heel: A traditional heel flap construction provides durability and structure
- Wedge toe: The toe is shaped using wedge decreases for a comfortable, fitted finish
- Striping: Striped sections complement the charted colorwork design
- Circular knitting: Socks are worked in the round using various needle options
Stitches Used
While specific stitch names are not detailed in the pattern excerpt, the construction relies on fundamental knitting stitches combined with colorwork techniques. The pattern provides both charted instructions for the stranded colorwork sections and written instructions for remaining portions of the sock, making it accessible to intermediate knitters familiar with reading both chart and text formats.
Materials
Yarn: The pattern calls for approximately 20-40g each of three colors in fingering weight yarn, totaling roughly 90g for one pair. The sample socks shown used Patons Kroy Sock yarn in the Flax colorway (CC2) at approximately 30g, gold yarn (MC) at approximately 40g from The Wool Barn, and cream-colored mystery fingering weight wool yarn (CC1) at approximately 20g.
Needles: Two sets of needles are required—one set of US 1/2.25 mm needles and one set of US 2/2.75 mm needles. These may be worked using double-pointed needles (dpns), 32"-40" circular needles with the magic loop method, or 9" circular needles, sized to obtain correct gauge.
