We know that many are facing economic and health hardships during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Self-care is important, but a desire to knit doesn’t manifest money for patterns. We’re offering 3 discount options, no strings or purchase requirements to support knitters that may not be able to purchase full price patterns.

We’re a small business, and I rely on pattern sales to support my family. So, we are asking that people who can afford to purchase patterns to continue to support designers during this time. We are instituting a “choose your discount” policy through April 3rd so you can stock up on patterns to get you through the quarantine. Please choose the discount that best matches your financial situation.

We live in tumultuous times. For many, 2020 has been a year filled with fear. In recent months schools and businesses across the globe have been forced to close their doors to slow the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Citizens have been asked to remain in their homes as much as possible, a practice called “social-distancing”. Despite understanding and supporting this measure, I have struggled with it the isolation. I’m luckier than most. I can do all of my work from home, and although my daughter and I are having difficulty adjusting to the new reality of being together 24/7, she’s safe and healthy. Still, now more than ever I see the need to take a break from worry, stress, homeschooling, and round the clock parenting to make time for self-care.
In that spirit I’m excited to release a new pattern that is perfectly suited to sparkling your way through the isolation. This stash buster won’t require a trip to the LYS (assuming there is even one open near you). In a time where many of us are focused on caring for others, take some time to care for yourself.
With love, from Megan-Anne.

Yarn
50g fingering weight yarn in color A (this is the main background color of the socks) & 15g each 5 additional colors. The Heel can be worked in color A or in a contrast color. If you wish to work it with a contrast color you’ll want to have an addition 5-8g of that color than is called for above. Note: this pattern can easily be worked in just 2 colors, or in more than 5 colors. Follow your yarn muse and use as many or as few colors as you wish. The instructions are written for 5 contrast colors, but you can add a new color any time you start a new repeat of the chart.

Needles
US0 and US1 36” Circular needles for working in magic loop, or DPNs. Adjust needle size to achieve gauge as needed.

Notions
Stitch Markers, including one visibly different marker for BoR.

Gauge
40 sts and 28 rounds = 4”. Note that gauge should be taken on a swatch worked in the round, following the slip st chart.

Sizing
1(2, 3, 4, 5) = 6(7, 8, 9, 10)” circumference.
