Sprinkle Socks

For these socks, I wanted to create a fun pattern that would show off colorful yarns, so that even very busy yarns could shine without being overwhelming. Both toe-up and cuff-down constructions are included, with the design customized to fit each method. The contrast color begins at either the toe or the cuff, depending on which construction method is used, and then gradually fades into the main color through the colorwork sprinkles.

Construction:

For toe-up socks, the CC starts at the toe, and for cuff-down socks the CC begins at the cuff. Both styles use a shadow wrap short row heel, in which you don’t need to wrap the stitch. You can use another short row heel method if you prefer. Each construction features an optional folded cuff (instructions and demo videos are included). The cuff-down version includes options for either a single color toe or a patterned toe (shown).
