Knitting pattern available in English only The ‘Blooming Lavender’ sock knitting pattern was created with the inspiration of lavender and their upright flower spikes and long green foliage. These socks are knit from the cuff down with a 1x1 ribbed cuff, an eye of patridge heel-flap and gusset (alternative heels can be substituted) and have a section of colourwork on the leg and a small section before the toe decreases.
