Goldenrod

Featured on the cover of 52 Weeks of Socks, Vol. II by Laine Publishing

These socks recall childhood summers: blooming goldenrods, hay bales and Wisconsin prairies that turn yellow at the end of summer.

The Goldenrod socks are knitted top down with a heel flap construction. 1 x 1 Half Twisted Ribbing precedes a playful and straightforward Grass Stitch and Eyelet pattern. The heel flap is knitted in Slipped-Stitch Ribbing, and 1 x 1 Half Twisted Ribbing is worked again for the toe. The legs can be knitted to a standard crew length or shortened to ankle length by varying the number of pattern repeats.
