These socks are named after a quote from Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “Come on. I can feel it, Slayer. You know you wanna dance.”

I love variegated yarn, but sometimes it is hard to find a pattern that can showcase the yarn while having a pattern incorporated. So I designed a pair of socks with a slip stitch pattern that does just that: You Know You Wanna Dance Socks.

Worked from the toe up, the intuitive pattern makes them a quick knit while having enough interest to keep you interested and excited to keep going.
