Wildflowers

$7.00

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and liberation with our Wildflowers sock pattern, inspired by the timeless tune of Tom Petty. Just like the cherished song, our pattern invites you to break free from societal constraints and embrace your true self with all its unique characteristics.

With every stitch, the Wildflowers sock pattern celebrates the joy of authenticity and the beauty of individuality. Let it be a reminder to embrace who you are without reservation, revelling in the freedom of self-expression and contentment.

Channel the spirit of Wildflowers as you knit your own pair of socks, allowing each loop and twist to echo the message of liberation and self-acceptance. Embrace your inner wildflower and let your creativity bloom with our heartfelt sock pattern.

Worked in the round, Wildflowers contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers โ€“ so you donโ€™t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
