The sunflower is a plant endowed with fascinating beauty. Its bright colors and flowering even inspired the famous painter Van Gogh. This flower represents summer heat and sunlight. This socks are knit from the cuff down. It begins with a tubular cast on and a ribbed cuff. The leg is knitted with a floral colorwork pattern. Then the heel flap and the gusset are knitted back and forth. Finally, the toe is worked in the round and finished with Kitchener stitch.
