Welcome spring with the Vernal Socks! This pattern works for both top-down and toe-up knitting. With super simple yo, k2tog lace flowers that look like daisies, the design flows into a pretty floral gradient down the sides, with a few blossoms scattered here and there on the top of the foot. It’s perfect for a sock knit-a-long and a fun way to add a touch of spring to your wardrobe!
