These fun shortie socks have a sparkling fold over cuff and picot detail.

Put a spring in your step with these Spring Sparkles shortie socks. Start with a slightly frilled cast on, then knit a simple beaded pattern which will fold down over a ribbed cuff.

Knit with a Fleegle style heel, once the beaded cuff is finished the rest of the sock is plain sailing. If you prefer plainer socks, instructions are provided for a plain cast on and no beads.
