Dancing Butterfly Socks

These cheerful, ankle-length socks feature flirty butterflies dancing among garter ridges.  Slipped stitches are used to place loose strands on the front that are later caught up to form each adorable butterfly.

This pattern was originally distributed with the May 2019 Sock Knitcrate Subscription.  The version now available includes three cuff options, featuring the “butterfly wings” from the Knitcrate version, plus “butterfly fans” and “butterfly bows”.
