Shorty socks & white sneakers…
Waiting to watch the sunset on the beach…
It’s the stuff summer memories are made of!

I grew up on an island (not a very warm one) and have been lucky enough to watch the magic of island sunsets. The memories are so much better than even the best pictures.

These fun shorty socks are so quick to knit, you can easily make a few pairs to share with friends & family.

Construction
Knit cuff down with a heel flap/gusset and round toe for the best fit in sneakers.

Pattern design is centered around the leg and down the foot for all 3 sizes.

Technique
My favorite method for sock knitting is MagicLoop technique. The pattern is written specifically for that, and is easily adjust if you prefer working on DPNs.

Yarn & Needles
Textured patterns and variegated yarns make a perfect pair. It’s lovely in a solid or neutral, but the texture works well for that skein of wild colors, stripes and speckles.

Sample socks were knit with hand-dyed 75/25 sock yarn from my stash.. (Support indie dyers, folks, they make beautiful yarns). My favorite needles for MagicLoop are Chiaogoo mini twist, size 2.25mm.

Extras
Included are tricks for seamless joins, and a few other tips for neat and tidy gussets.

Beginner friendly sock pattern, and a perfect weekend knitting project.

Happy Knitting!
