Fresh Shoots Sock Knitting Pattern by Nicky Jerome
Celebrate the arrival of spring with Fresh Shoots, a beautifully textured sock pattern designed for a mindful and rewarding knitting experience.

With a comfortable short-row Boomerang heel and a relaxed, rhythmic stitch repeat, Fresh Shoots is a joy to knit—perfect whether you’re unwinding with a simple project or looking to refine your sock-making skills.
