What a fun project!!!  Love the yarn and the pattern which I share with you below.  This pattern is for toe up socks but just flip the order and it will work for cuff down socks as well.  This pattern would look so festive in the Claudia Hand Painted Fingering weight Chocolate Cherry colorway.

72 stiches around
12 stitch repeating pattern for instep and leg
Shortrow heel
