Lupin Socks

*This is a knitting pattern download, not the purchase of the product shown in the photo.
 
Grab a handful of beautiful Lupins with these distinctive socks. Worked from the cuff down the leg seamlessly in the round. A pretty lupin-inspired motif adorns the leg down to the textured heel. Then worked in the round again from gusset to toe-end and finally grafted to completion using the Kitchener method. These are a fun challenge and so rewarding to look at. Here’s to floral knits!
