These socks were inspired by a beautiful shop exclusive yarn at my LYS during the Rose City Yarn crawl 2016 (so, sorry if you aren’t local). If you have a full skein gradient yarn that you love, then this pattern explains how you can utilize the whole skein in a pair of socks (with the addition of contrast heel, toes, and cuffs to unify the pair). Either cuff-down or toe-up, these socks show off those amazing full-skein gradients in your stash with some purl details on the toes and a fish-lips kiss heel.

Pattern includes instructions for a purl-detailed contrast toe in both toe-up and cuff-down. Sample was knit using the Fish Lips Kiss heel, so please purchase that pattern as well if you have not (or you may substitute any short row heel in, instructions for a heel are not given).
