Popsicle Socks

--- *Popsicle Socks* take the theme from my *Popsicle Sweater* and pair the colourwork motif of the leg with plain, well-fitting foot. Popsicle Socks mix your favourite contrast colour pops with that perfect main colour. If you are lucky, you might have the contrast colours as left-overs from your *Popsicle Sweater*! Popsicle Socks are easily worked from the cuff down and with a nicely fitting heel flap. The design is made in collaboration with [Botanical Yarn][2]. **MATERIALS** ***Yarn:*** 1 (1, 1) skein of 4-ply Merino Sock by Botanical Yarn, shown in colourway Hellebore Orientalis as MC (pink).
