Summer Fade

This is a fun summer sock to run around town in your sneakers, or to have on in your house when your feet get chilly. Have fun playing with color and add the optional pom pom for a little extra treat on your feet.

This pattern includes instructions for fading 3-4 colors in a toe-up shortie sock with a shadow wrap heel. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel. Sizes 1 and 2 can be knit easily with 3 minis, depending on foot length. Larger sizes would be better with 4 minis.

Yarn:

3-4 20-25g fingering weight minis *(Sample uses 3 minis from McMullin Fiber Co’s Break Up Songs set.)
