It must be sock season

It must be sock season - or at least for me it is.  I just finished the last sock club pattern for Crown Mountain Farms (http://www.crownmountainfarms.com/) for this year.  I had to wrack my brain to come up with something different than all the other socks - and after some 15 different swatches, I decided to copy my Northwest Button Band hat idea and work the same concept onto a sock.  I must say, I'm pleased with the outcome.  Different heel flap for me - I used a combination of wyif, sl 1, wyib, k1 on the wrong side of the flap to create this sturdy seed stitch look.  I'm thinking this sock could be adorable on a toddler or babies foot in some pink tone with a fun button and some Mary Jane shoes. 

 These socks were designed for Frog Tree Yarns (http://www.frogtreeyarns.com/) - using their new Pediboo 3-ply sock yarn.  Both of these socks were test knit for me and both knitters raved about this yarn.  This sock will be at TNNA, Long Beach at the Frog Tree Booth.  The heel flap is the standard heel flap (sl 1, k1) - only done on the wrong side so that the bars would face the right side tot give some needed texture.   

This sock was intended to be reversible - but after asking the opinion of my 3 test knitters, they all agreed that they prefer the knit side up with the cuff folded down - so no need to offer a reversible option.
