The sparkly yarn I used in this pattern reminds me of the twinkle of holiday lights. The pattern is fairly straightforward if you understand basic 1x1 cables and the use of twisted stitches. Luckily, neither of those are terribly difficult if you’re looking to expand your stitch library. If you go down a needle size -or two- you could probably make the socks smaller. Thankfully, the ribbing in these help make them fit a large array of foot sizes.
