Notes

Pattern Notes:
See yarn notes below about how I used the sock blank.

Cuff:
12 rows 1x3 rib

Leg:
8 inches, including FLK 1-inch section. Side rib only with right leg K4, P2 x 2; K rest of round. (Mirrored for left leg)

FLK Heel:
Use opposite end of cake. Thus, the gradient continues down the foot from the leg without interruption, and the heel is a contrasting color from the opposite end of the yarn (blue).

Yarn Notes:
Instead of using directly from the single yarn (some are double yarn) sock blank, I decided to divide it into two cakes and try to mostly match the gradient colors for the socks.

Also, I’ve used sock blanks before, and the yarn and resulting fabric are bumpy while it’s being used … but the fabric smooths out just fine once washed.

The yarn itself is wonderfully soft and fabulous, as I’ve found with all of Pandia’s Jewels yarns. :-)

Cake 1: 15.9 grams remaining
Cake 2: 8.4 grams remaining + 6.4 grams green from top (14.8 total)
Total = 30.7 grams
