Flock Doodle (Socks)

To purchase on Ravelry, see Flock Doodle (Socks). 

THE FLOCK DOODLE was designed to release at Flock Fiber Festival 2024 in Seattle WA. It mimics the colors and aesthetic of the sheep in the Flock logo. It also connects makers to the sheep that provide the fibers so much of us work with everyday. I hope you enjoy knitting your flock of sheep!

The Flock Doodle includes ONE chart only, with an easy, medium, and intermediate level option for colorwork.

This listing is for a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD for a FULL PATTERN. To view additional options, please see Flock Doodle. The Doodle Card was a single print run only, available while supplies last. 

This is a Doodle Series Pattern. Use the chart in this pattern, or you can substitute ANY other Doodle charts!

This sock pattern is worked in the round, from the top down. The cuff is worked and then the design-your-own stranded colorwork is worked on the leg. An afterthought heel is placed, before finishing the colorwork on the foot. Then the toe is shaped and grafted together. Lastly, the afterthought heel is picked up and worked.
