Pattern Description:

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern will be donated to Our Children's Circle in McKinney, TX in honor of my friend Danny and his family.

Our Children's Circle provides resources for parents of children with Autism Spectrum disorders.

This is a traditional cuff-down sock with a heel flap and gusset. The jigsaw puzzle pattern is added with duplicate stitch after the leg is knit.

The pattern is not written for a specific sock knitting style - it is very easily adapted for DPNs, two circulars needles or magic loop.

The yardages specified are for the main color. You will also need several yards each of red, yellow, light blue and dark blue.

Small - foot circumference 7" (17.7 cm) (300-350 yds/275-320 m of main color)

Large - foot circumference 10" (25.4 cm) (350-400 yds/320-365 m of main color)

The pattern includes negative ease, and will stretch to comfortably fit the foot circumference.
