Fade in fade out socks
Welcome to my new series “The not so vanilla socks” — socks knitted in a simple stockinette stitch (also known as vanilla socks), but with a little something extra. In this first sock pattern, you start the cuff in a solid contrast color, then gradually add the main color (a colorful variegated yarn), which slowly fades again towards the end, where the sock finishes in a second solid contrast color. Super simple, yet with a beautiful effect!

The instructions in this booklet are provided in three languages (Dutch, English, German), each clearly marked with colors. In addition, the pattern includes print instructions per language. I wish you lots of knitting fun!
