Concorde Pear Socks DK

Six days shalt thou paddle and pack, but on the seventh thou shalt wash thy socks. ~ Aldo Leopold, considered to be the father of wildlife ecology

This lovely blue tweed needed to be a part of this sock collection, not only is it my mom’s favorite color (I grew up with a blue living room carpet, curtains, couch, chairs, all of it baby blue), but also because it just shines.

PATTERN NOTES Written for both DK and Fingering weight yarns, this collection includes ‘top-down’ socks, cast on at the cuff, then worked in the round on double pointed or circular needles to the heel. The Dutch heel flap is worked back and forth in rows, and then the heel is turned. Stitches are picked up along the heel flap, and the work is joined in the round and the gusset stitches decreased. Each sock in this collection is embellished with an optional pear-shaped button, bead, or charm.
