Free Sock Patterns from Summer of Color Contest

The Summer of Color Contest produced some awesome socks using Simply Sock Yarn.  The three winners even received credits to the store totalling $500.  It also produced a new patterns, as many of the entrants developed their own pattern for their socks.  Three of these knitters shared their patterns with me and gave permission to post them here.

Keep in mind when knitting these that while they have been tested by their authors, I'm not going to come to your house and help you, should there be any mistakes in the patterns.  Ha!  But if you or the authors do find errors and send me new files, I'll may update them to correct errors.

If you are on Ravelry, you can queue up any of these patterns here.

Susan B. knit these socks using Simply Sock Yarn in Black, Finch and Cerulean and she designed the Walk Across Texas pattern.

And finally, the adorable little sheep socks that so many of you have e-mailed about.  Amy's Flock Socks were a close second in the Best of Show category, and I can see why, can't you?  Amy R knit these socks using Simply Sock Yarnin Blue Skies, Natural, Black, Wheatgrass and Wasabi.  It's her own pattern featuring tiny little sheep, based on the construction on Add Budd's sock in The Knitters Handy Book of Patterns.  You can download it below, and I'd love to see your variations on this pattern, and the ones shown above, if you want to e-mail them to me.
