Stardust Socks
Whimsical Stranded colourwork with a touch of special texture. These socks are cozy and beautiful!

They are constructed toe up, and include a gusset and heel flap heel construction. I have written these for 4 sizes.

The colourwork charts are offered in original and inverse colours for ease of reading no matter what colours your choose.

The socks can be knit with the colourwork at the toe, or the cuff….AND some of the amazing testers even did both! Make sure to check out all the projects for some serious inspiration.

And because I love extra, there are three options for texture: bobbles, purl bumps, or satisfying stockinette.

You can truly customize your Stardust Socks!
