Suvi is Finnish and it means summer. These socks remind me of the years I used to live in Holland. The springtime turned Dutch fields into colorful patchwork of tulips and other flowers. I loved that time of the year there. The colorwork pattern of Suvi socks gives me the same feeling. Knee-high light socks are perfect for springtime and chilly summer days. You can wear skirt every day, no matter the weather. Very Finnish, hé.

Suvi socks are worked toe-up. The heel has a gusset and heel flap construction, shaped with German Short Rows. The pattern is written for both, Magic Loop and DPN’s.

The pattern has 2 sizes for the leg circumference. The length of the foot can be adjusted on any length. The leg has slim fit in the ankle and the top of the leg is wider.

The foot and the leg feature simple stranded colorwork pattern. Charts are included.
