When I saw the intense, bright colors of this jungle themed sock set, I knew I wanted to make some bold, graphic flowers in the contrast colors, but I wanted it to be a quicker knit, so I chose mosaic knitting to create the flowers. I added some detail down the sides of the sock in the main color that represents vines.

Feel free to play with the amount of contrast colors used; as shown, they are great for scraps or small miniskeins, but would also look good using a single contrast, or alternating two or three contrast colors.
