Holly & Jolly Socks

Holly & Jolly socks, are a merry christmasy pair of colorwork socks knit from the cuff down. A pair of socks that looked like they could almost be stockings hanging on the mantle but they are cozy too. The colorwork adds that extra warmth. its a fun pattern to work, the most complicated part is the garland section because your are working with 3 colors but the rest of the sock is easy, you won't even have to look at the chart. I love that it looks like a candy cane! Cuff down, instructions are for magic loop. The color work is charted only. Short row heel is included but optional, insert your favorite heel. I used 3 colors for this pattern, traditional red, green and white. If you're a tight knitter like me, I recommend using one size larger for your size, for the colorwork portion only. In the sample I used the 2.5, for the larger size and 2.25 for the cuff and toe. I've included a very basic short row heel in the pattern, it's not everyones favorite, but here are links to heels I highly recommend, [fish lips kiss heel][1] [Soxploration heel][2] [German Short row heel][3] Afterthought heel[link text][4] [1]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fish-lips-kiss-heel [2]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/soxploration-shadow-wrap-heel [3]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/loaded-german-short-row-socks [4]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/afterthought-heel-socks
