These top-down socks are super fun to knit with slip stitches forming the hot air balloon shapes. Choose eight mini skeins of fingering weight sock yarn or dive into your yarn pile to knit a stashbusting pair of Balloon Festival Socks. 

The cuff begins with a German Twisted Cast On and 2x2 ribbing followed by the color pop slip stitch pattern in the leg and top foot. A garter stitch heel flap curves around the heel for a cozy fit. Choose between four sizes and customize the leg and foot length to perfectly fit your foot. These socks can be knitted in as many colors as you like, so let your imagination run free!
