1. Snowflakes falling

These long colorwork socks are finished with crochet stars.

Thanks to paired decreases, the snowflake motif continues right down to the toe, and the socks are finished with crocheted star decorations. Find the instructions for the socks and the decorations here. What colors would you choose?

2. Inspired by ice

Knitwear designer Pirjo Iivonen’s Ahtojää socks are patterned using mosaic knitting.

These fresh, blue-toned socks are actually faux colorwork: the fabric is worked with slipped stitches, one color at a time. If you like, finish them with playful tassels. Get the pattern for these icy socks here.

3. Heartfelt socks

Christmassy colorwork socks
These Christmassy colorwork socks make the most of leftover yarn.

The motifs on these Christmassy colorwork socks include a snowy spruce forest, evergreen boughs, and seasonal flowers. The words “Tip tap” around the middle refer to the Finnish Christmas song Tonttujen jouluyö, in Swedish Tomtarnas julnatt. See the pattern here.
