May Day socks for June

I really like these socks. It's difficult to find a pattern that works with self-patterning yarn, but I think this is a good example of the pattern & the yarn working together.

The yarn is Regia Silk, which my daughter bought me for Mother's Day. I think she's hoping that she'll get the socks, but she's going to be disappointed!


I used 2 x 2.5mm circulars and made the larger size.

The only change I made was to reduce the sole to 30 stitches because I like the foot fit quite closely.
Thanks again for all the great patterns.
