I've been craving ice cream from our local ice cream place, ever since the heat came up at the very end of May.  So, as a safer way to get an ice cream sundae, I present, for June, the Ice Cream Sundae Socks!   They are now 50% off at $2.75 CAD. (Regular Price, $5.50 CAD). until the end of June!

(Ok, I admit, they're a poor substitute for tasty ice cream, but I do hope you still enjoy!)

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’, and these were the result!

They 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 pattern has been tested and tech-edited as well.  

Sample is shown in *Blue Moon Fiber Arts Super Sparkle, a 4 ply Superwash Merino yarn with Lurex blended into the plies. 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, onto the Mini-KAL!
