Digital knitting pattern (pdf download) - this product listing is for a pdf pattern you can use to knit your own finished item with. It does not include the physical item itself.

This is one of a set of very easy sock patterns part of the Vanilla Sundae Sock Set! These patterns are meant for times when you want a mostly mindless knitting project you can pick up and put down easily, but also want something a little more interesting than a plain vanilla sock - hence, the "Vanilla Sundae" name. All 6 patterns are also available together in an ebook for the best total price! The ebook also comes with a bonus vanilla sock making guide written for both cuff-down and toe up constructions, an expanded 12 sizes, guidance on how to adjust sizing for your own stitch and round gauge, as well as plenty of other tips so that you can create handknit socks you will actually wear! I hope you enjoy these sock patterns, and happy knitting!

The texture formed by the purl bumps in these textured colorwork socks reminded me of the tiny sprinkles on top of a cake pop. These socks are worked using mosaic knitting, so only one color is held at a time. In between the mosaic sections, there is a break of several easy rounds of stockinette stitch. A single garter stitch ridge decorates the top of the contrast toe. These socks are fun to work to work as a mismatched set with two contrast colors. Includes 3 child sizes and 4 adult sizes.

Please note this is to purchase the pattern to knit the socks, not the socks themselves. Due to the nature of digital downloads, I cannot offer refunds.

This pattern is also on Ravelry. Pattern has been tech edited and test knitted - thank you to my tech editor, Heather Storta, and my test knitters! Thank you to Bella @ www.bee-creates.com for the wonderful illustrations!

Construction

These socks are knit cuff-down, starting with a 2x2 ribbed cuff followed by mosaic colorwork on the leg. The heel is worked as a shadow wrap short row heel, and then the mosaic colorwork is resumed on the foot. The bumpy texture is maintained on the top of the foot, but knit on the bottom of the foot so that it is smooth. There is a decorative garter ridge at the top of the contrast toe.
