Are they striped? Gradient? Faded? You decide! This pattern works with 4 (or more!) mini skeins. Toe-up with an afterthought heel, these socks knit up quickly and are the perfect canvas to play with yarn colors. Timber Creek Farm’s Berry Grey Berries set is one fun possibility!

This pattern features expanded sizing, providing options for both children and adult socks. For extra fun, if you want to use more than 4 mini skeins on an adult size, start by swapping the Long Transition and 1.5 or 2” {4 or 5 cm} solid color band for the children’s Short Transition and O.5 – 1” {1.5 – 2.5 cm} band.
