This sock was inspired by and designed for the Junkyarn Queens & Consorts mini skein set. Each color is named for one of the wives of Henry VIII, so I designed a sock that would use each one; a faded sock fit for a queen.

The fading technique is subtle and involves slipped stitches which give a faux-colorwork look.

Use a set of gradient minis, fade minis, or scraps for your own variation!

You will need:

• Size 1 US/2.25mm circular needle with at least a 32” cord for Magic Loop
• A tapestry needle for finishing (weaving in ends/Kitchener Stitch)
• One set of Queens & Consorts or Warriors & Legends Junkyarn Mini Skeins OR 6 20g sock yarn scraps amounting to around 100g - each color section measures approx. 1.5 inches and uses 4-5g of yarn; this gives you a lot of freedom to make your socks shorter or longer depending on the yarn you have
