Summer Shorties Sock Club Pattern for JUNE
Designed by Barb Brown
The pattern will be released June 7th, 2024.
June's design is called Crocus Shortie and are inspired by pretty spring flowers. Barb's mom planted spring flower bulbs everywhere in their yard, and the first flowers to open each year were the crocuses. The sight of these flowers always says spring is really here and brings joy to everyone who sees them. The lace pattern in the socks reminded Barb of those welcome harbingers of the summer to come so she chose it as a celebration of the start of summer!
These shorties only require one skein of fingering weight yarn, preferably in a semi-solid colour so that the lace will be able to shine. The delicate lace pattern is very approachable, and they are knit top down with a picot cast-on and heel flap.
