Thank you, Vis Major and Veronica. The pattern is Fiber Trends Peak Experience/Mount Hood. Another pattern which works up beautifully in the Noro sock yarn is Annetrelac from last year’s IK’s Holiday Knits; you can get a tiny peak at it in the bottom picture of four socks in a pile; it’s the bottom two socks. BTW–the Noro sock yarn gets softer with every washing so please don’t let the way it feels in the ball put you off.

I have knit for many years, but have never knitted socks. Can you suggest a good pattern to start with and also what yarn?

Dang. I’ve managed to resist the pull of Kureyon sock yarn until now, but the socks in your first picture just sucked out all the willpower I had. I can resist no more. They’re gorgeous!
