This sock pattern is one of 28 in my ebook, Personal Footprints for Insouciant Sock Knitters. My Personal Footprint method is fun and easy, and captivates even seasoned sock knitters with its innovative approach and ease of fitting any foot. It is ideal for normal feet as well as feet with unusually high or low insteps, and heels of all sizes and shapes.

I spent much of my childhood perched high up in the arms of a California Live Oak tree, mesmerized by the tree’s calm strength, the view, and the clusters of acorns surrounding me. This stitch pattern is a more acorn-like revision of the Lotus Blossom hat pattern in my book, A Treasury of Magical Knitting.
