Nothing screams summer like ice cream. Use up your scraps and curate a menu of soft serve flavors on the Ice Cream Shoppe socks. For more advanced colorwork knitters, there’s also a 3-color twist option.

The socks are knit cuff down with a 2x2 ribbed Neapolitan cuff, 2-color stranded colorwork, a German short row heel, and a grafted toe.
