This little pattern bundle has been months in the making, I loved it so much I made seven samples! Enjoy an automatic 20% discount on this pattern bundle through the end of August to help me celebrate its release :) thank you so much for your support, I hope you love your socks!

This bundle includes three different versions of the pattern: a heel flap version, a Fleegle heel version, and a shortie sock version! Each is worked cuff down, and has the same texture around the sock, the only differences are the length of the sock and the heel construction :)

This sock series was inspired by a quarterly yarn club themed around the Legend of Zelda video games – one of the challenges in many genres of video games is the completion of quests: there’s usually a main quest driving the storyline, with several side quests to keep you busy and build your character’s skills. Some are quick and mindless, while others can be intense and difficult, and with this sock series I aimed to capture this range of challenges so that you can customize your ideal “Quest” yourself!

The heel flap and Fleegle heel versions of these socks can be worked in a single color, OR you can add in a second color to make a contrast toe and corrugated ribbing cuff! The corrugated ribbing is a very easy-to-learn colorwork technique :) Additionally, the only chart in these patterns is in the Fleegle heel version, to work increases at the heel in the round. All other instructions (including those for the corrugated ribbing) are entirely written out.

I’ve made SEVEN samples of these socks, here is a link to their project pages with the yarns, yardages, sizes, and needle sizes I used!
