Banksia Spiral Socks

Discover the versatility of these stunning socks, perfect for utilizing those colorful scraps in your knitting stash. These socks offer the freedom to mix and match various colors for the cuffs, heels, and toes or to create a vibrant colorwork leg. In the patterns showcased, the design features a harmonious two-color scheme, where the main color is used for the cuff and heel, and the contrast color brightens up the toe. This creates a visually appealing design that will make your socks stand out.

The sock leg is crafted using an engaging stranded colorwork technique that forms a beautiful spiral pattern. This makes it incredibly easy to knit, as you won’t need to worry about starting and finishing rounds until the desired leg length is achieved. Whether you're a beginner looking to enhance your skills or an experienced knitter seeking a fun project, this pattern is an excellent choice.

Feel free to customize these measurements to suit your preferences, but keep in mind that adjusting the leg or foot length may require additional yarn, especially if you’re aiming for longer socks or a cozier fit.
