Ruffle Socks - by Tin Can Knits

The Ruffle socks are part of the Knit for the Girls 2026 Exclusive Collection, created for the annual Knit for the Girls breast cancer research fundraiser.

Throughout October, 20% of pattern and yarn sales are donated to the official North American Knit For The Girls breast cancer fundraiser!

These socks are my tribute to the fancy little ruffle socks of my childhood. Pair them with Mary Jane’s for a classic look, or perhaps some kicks if you’re feeling like a princess rockstar.
