Banksia Spiral Socks

These socks are great for using up scraps in your stash. You can use different colours for the cuffs, heels and toes or for the colourwork leg. The versions shown in the pattern are worked in two colours, with the main colour used for the cuff and heel and the contrast colour used for the toe.

The sock leg is worked using stranded colourwork. The pattern for the colourwork forms a spiral, which means it is very easy to work. You don’t need to pay attention to the beginnings and ends of the rounds until the leg length is reached.

These measurements may be adjusted but be aware that you may need more yarn if length is added to the leg or foot.
