Have Your Cake and Wear It, Too Socks
You can now Have Your Cake and Wear It, Too! These sweet socks were designed after the delicious treat of a layered cake. The cuff of the sock has a fluffy iced edge made with a Latvian twist and luscious colorwork frosting dripping down the first cake layer. Add as many layers of cake as needed to reach your desired foot length while contrasting it with your favorite filling layer in a lateral braid technique.
This pattern DOES NOT COME WITH HEEL INSTRUCTIONS. It is designed to work best with a short row heel or afterthought heel. A heel flap and gusset is not suitable for this specific design.
I personally used a fish lips kiss heel, but use your favorite short row heel to make your cake socks your own!
