Hints of twisted ribbing with subtle columns of lace blend beautifully with the gradient colours in our Party of Five mini-skein sets. Vibrant, rich, and totally fun, these are socks you’ll want to wear every day!

The socks are worked cuff-down and feature a traditional heel flap. When changing colours, join the yarns by splicing to help preserve a more gradual colour change, as well as reduce the chance of holes or odd-shaping results.

The yarn colours are labeled throughout the pattern as A (lightest), B (second lightest), C (midtone), D (second darkest), and E (darkest). You can easily reverse these for your own preference.

Charts and written instructions are both provided for your preference.
