Glimmer Socks
I’d love for you to join along in an informal scrappy sock KAL! Please use the code SCRAPPYSOCKS for 20% this pattern, as well as my other all-over colorwork patterns (Nostalgia Socks & Rumphius Socks)
Let’s have some fun! The Glimmer socks are bound to bring a smile no matter the day. Generous yarn support for this project was provided by Stacy of Stress Knits Yarn.
Please note: this pattern doesn’t include heel instructions. Instead, I have listed some of my favorite heel patterns. I recommend subbing in your favorite short row or afterthought heel pattern. The sample uses the
- Soxploration Shadow Wrap Heel. Soxploration Shadow Wrap Heel by Earth Tones Girl Designs (short row heel).
- Fish Lips Kiss Heel by Sox Therapist (short row heel).
- Smooth Operator Heel by Susan B Anderson (afterthought heel).
- Afterthought heel of choice. I like this video tutorial by Stranded Dyeworks.
- Peasant heel of choice. I like this video tutorial by Summer Lee Knits.

one tester for size C did use about 23g of CC4. This tester does have a tighter gauge. However, if knitting size C, it may be helpful to weigh as you go, or have a little extra of the CC4 yarn.
