This is a fun summer sock to run around town in your sneakers, or to have on in your house when your feet get chilly. Have fun playing with color and add the optional pom pom for a little extra treat on your feet.

This pattern includes instructions for fading 3-4 colors in a toe-up shortie sock with a shadow wrap heel. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel. Sizes 1 and 2 can be knit easily with 3 minis, depending on foot length. Larger sizes would be better with 4 minis.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) = 56 (60, 64, 68, 72) sts around.

Actual sock circumference: 7 (7.5, 8, 8.5, 9)”

To Fit: 8 (8.5, 9, 9.5, 10)” around ball of foot. (You want your sock to have about 10% negative ease around and 10% negative ease for length.)

Yarn:

Use any 3-4 mini skeins or sock leftovers you want (20-25g each).
