Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be “follow the butterflies?”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

…so we will “follow the butterflies” instead.

BEADS, glorious BEADS! Why, yes, this is beads month for the SKA mock. I sincerely hope that the thoughts of beaded socks do not scare you away. I do love my blings and I hope you do too!

You will need 444 (452, 460) size 8/0 or 6/0 Seed Beads for fully beaded socks. Less if beads are left off heel and instep.

My testers used everything from matching beads to highly contrasting (ie. orange beads with purple yarn!). I actually liked the ones with the highly contrasting beads but as always, it is knitter’s choice. I would recommend a solid color or slightly tonal yarn for this pattern.
