This pattern was created for Supersock World Championships 2023.

Satisfy a princess with princess soles and bling. Worked cuff down in reverse stockinette, the front of the leg and instep have a twisted stitch cable pattern. The back of the leg uses pre-strung beads to form a type of cable.

Due to the beads being pre-strung, the number of repeats worked on the leg needs determined before beginning the sock. Size 8/0 beads are the recommended size.

Bead usage
Size 8/0 beads are the recommended size and number of leg repeats will determine the total number needed.
Generous estimate is 300-500 beads (10-20 grams).

Beaded cast on will take 28 (32, 36) beads per sock.
Each repeat of the leg chart uses 26 (30, 32) beads per sock.

Grey sock shown on pdf is size medium with 5 leg repeats for a total of 182 beads in one sock.
