Make a wish and tuck into a scrumptious “three-layer cake” on the leg of these fanciful socks, with delectable purled icing layers, topped with twisted rib candles. Delicate purl sprinkles dot the base of the toe on the otherwise vanilla foot.

Size and Gauge:
• This is a standard 64-stitch sock pattern, which will fit most women. To adjust fit, go up or down a needle size based on your preferences.
• Approximately 8 stitches per inch.

Needles:
• I used 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
• I used 32-inch-long circular needles for magic loop.

Yarn:
• Any fingering weight (1: superfine) yarn, or sock yarn, that includes nylon will work for this pattern.
• You will need around 325 yards, or 70g.

The sample I made used:
• Teenybutton Studio, Soft Sock (fingering weight, 4 ply, 463 yards per 100g skein, 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon), in the colorway “Happee Birthdae Harry.” 324 yards, 70g, used.

Notions:
