A great knit for scrap yarn or leftover Advents!

I created this design after my favorite nostalgic decor which are the large, colorful incandescent lights strung during the winter holidays. The Old Fashioned Twinkle Light Socks are knit Top-Down, have a short row/after-though heel, and a simple wedge toe. The leg and foot of the sock depict colorwork lights that look as if they’ve been strung across a tree or whatever background you choose. Knit the Fashioned Twinkle Light Socks light up the dark nights.

Choose different background colors and light bulb colors to match different times of the year!

Cheers,

Note:** There are no written instructions for the heel. You may insert your favorite short row heel (i.e. German short row heel, fish lips kiss heel, shadow wrap heel, afterthought heel, etc.)

I personally used Earth Tones Girl’s video for the Shadow Wrap Heel for the sample socks.

Pattern DOES include:
Written and charted instructions for the colorwork.
