Sweet Candy Socks is a very fun pattern to practice your stranded skills and enjoy a thick and long-lasting sock or slipper.

In the pattern you have the instructions for both socks and slippers. You will also find 4 very helpful videos to guide you step-by-step.

It’s a great pattern to use mini skeins of yarn and play with colors! I suggest you as Main Color -the one that creates the lines- to use a solid yarn.

The pattern is in English, French and Spanish.
