Pizza Night socks

This pattern is included in Joyful Colorwork Socks: 25 New Knitting Patterns for Fun & Whimsical Footwear Featuring Pets, Games, Food, Hobbies & More which was published in November 2024. Available as a book or ebook in most book stores. Whether you like a simple Margherita pizza with cherry tomatoes or prefer a slice with pepperoni, these socks (designed to look like an actual pizza!) are perfect for wearing while enjoying your favorite slice. These socks are knit from the top down, starting with a ribbed cuff and including a short row heel. The colorwork pattern imitates the tomato after the “crust cuff” with a wavy tomato sauce pattern. This is followed by an easy-to-knit, repeating cheese with tomato/pepperoni circles pattern throughout the sock. Finishing with the wavy tomato sauce pattern, the socks are decreased for the toe using the pizza crust color and then grafted together.
