The Sploosh socks are a top down slip stitch/cabled sock pattern that I created to use up some miscellaneous variegated yarn I had lying about! I found that by mixing a variegated with a solid (or not)! the slip stiches were able to break up the color in interesting ways. This pattern contains instructions for three options - one color, contrast heels/toes/cuffs, and two color throughout, as well as a standard slip stitch heel flap, 2 color slip stitch heel flap, and a patterned heel flap!

Construction: Top down

Pattern: Charted

Sample socks are knit in a variety of sock weight yarns, including a OOAK Hedgehog fibres sock yarn, cascade heritage sock combined with a OOAK Hedgehog fibres sock yarn, and a cashmere merino sock blend (that I no longer have the name of)
