The Retro Bloom socks remind me of the 70s style curtain at my grandparents house. Many happy memories! Dive into the retro vibe with the brown and pink colour pairing, or give it extra terrestrial vibes with a fluorescent green combo.

This sock pattern is included in the Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio. In this booklet you will find two base patterns for socks - one Cuff Down Pattern and one Toe Up Pattern. They are each compatible with 11 different colourwork motifs. All 11 colourwork charts are included in the booklet.

About the Yarn
Scheepjes Arcadia is a staple sock yarn built for strength and clear stitch definition, designed to hold up wash after wash.

Fiber content: 75% Superwash Virgin Wool, 25% Polyamide
Meterage: 396m per 100 grams

For each pair of socks you will need 1x 100g ball of each colour.

Additional yardage notes:
One single sock uses about 45-55 grams of yarn in total, which means you could potentially knit 2 pairs of socks with 2 balls of Scheepjes Arcadia yarn, if you invert the colour palette for the second pair.
