Welcome to August! And at least here in the Northern Hemisphere, it's the days of Summer Festivals, swimming at the beach, and yes, Ice Cream! So, socks celebrating Ice Cream Sundaes just seemed the perfect fit (especially with the warmth places have been having recently!)
So, it seemed perfect to make my Ice Cream Sundae Socks the August Featured Pattern! The pattern is now 50% off at $2.75 CAD (Regular Price $5.50 CAD) until 11:59, August 31!
These socks were the result of playing with yarn and stitch dictionaries. I wanted a stitch pattern that would show off variegated yarn and keep it from being ‘ugly’. The Ice Cream Sundae Socks were the result! The socks are knit from the cuff-down, with either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method. They use a heel flap and gusset heel, with an slip-stitch heel flap for additional durability. The instructions are written; the lace pattern is both charted and written. Instructions are given for two sizes.
The sample was knit in *Blue Moon Fiber Arts Super Sparkle, in "Queen Frostline Sundae" (it was a limited edition colourway) which is a 92% Superwash Merino, and 8% Lurex (for sparkle!). If you are substituting yarn, any Merino/Nylon or wool Sock Yarn will work up well. This pattern is designed to help break up repeats of highly variegated yarn, but solid, tonal, and gradient yarns will also be beautiful in these socks.
You can buy the pattern through Ravelry or Etsy, the discount is available on both platforms. The discount should be applied automatically on Ravelry, and be visible on Etsy. As always, let me know if something doesn't work!
Now, the Mini-KAL!
