Sundown Sock Set - Knitting Pattern PDF

Three sock patterns are included in this set! Each sock style plays with a different type of stripe patterning in different amounts of yarns to achieve unique looks. These are designed to work especially well with variegated and speckled yarns. 

Overcast (left side in the first image) uses 4 colors of roughly similar amounts. The colors fade into each other gradually across the entire sock, and include a touch of colorwork on the foot and leg.

Sunset (center) is designed for minis and uses 7 colors total: a 6-color fade plus 1 neutral color. The colorful stripes alternate to form a gradient over the sock starting from the toe and ending at the cuff, broken up by single rounds of the neutral color.

Dusk (right) is designed for 1 MC and small quantities of 3 contrast colors - scraps would work great for this one! The color changes occur near the start and the end, with a long stretch of stockinette in MC in between that makes for easy knitting.

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 test knitted and tech edited - thank you to my tech editor, Heather Storta!

Construction

Socks are knit toe-up. All patterns use a shadow wrap short row heel, in which you don’t need to wrap the stitch. You can use another short row heel method if you prefer. Four sizes are included, but any multiple of 4 will work for the stitch patterns, so additional sizes can be achieved by decreasing or increasing stitch count. Charts and written instructions are included for the Overcast and Dusk socks.
