This is one of a set of very easy sock patterns part of the Vanilla Sundae Sock Set! These patterns are meant for times when you want a mostly mindless knitting project you can pick up and put down easily, but also want something a little more interesting than a plain vanilla sock - hence, the “Vanilla Sundae” name. All 6 patterns are also available together in an ebook for the best total price! The ebook also comes with a BONUS 15-page Vanilla Sock Recipe written for both cuff-down and toe up constructions, an expanded 12 sizes, guidance on how to adjust sizing for your own stitch and round gauge, as well as plenty of other tips so that you can create handknit socks you will actually wear! I hope you enjoy these sock patterns, and happy knitting!

The color of the yarn, plus the textured lines on the top of the foot, made me think of the waves of color running through a swirl of rainbow sherbet! These socks feature an easy panel texture on the front of the foot and leg, which will work especially well for a variegated or semisolid yarn. Three children sizes and four adult sizes are included.

Construction
Socks are knit toe-up. After the toe increases are done, a texture pattern is worked on the top of the foot with stockinette stitch on the bottom, until the heel is reached. The heel is worked with a Fleegle Heel. Once the heel is done, the texture pattern is resumed up the front of the leg, and is finished with a 1x1 ribbed cuff. You can optionally use a CC for the cuff as shown in the sample.
