The Building Blocks Socks feature simple graphic squares that are easy to knit and fun to wear. There are no long floats!

You can go minimalist with neutral colors or throw in all your leftover yarns. Knit each colorwork section with a different color.

The peasant heel with gussets gives a better fit.

This pattern also includes instructions to help you customize the socks for your own feet.
