This fun knitting pattern provides detailed instructions for fading 3-4 vibrant colors in a toe-up shortie sock featuring a shadow wrap heel. The project is designed to be worked in the magic loop technique, allowing you to easily maneuver your stitches. Needle 1 will be used for the front of the foot, instep, and leg, while needle 2 will take care of the back of the foot, leg, and heel. Sizes 1 and 2 can be effortlessly crafted using just 3 minis, depending on the length of the foot. For larger sizes, using 4 minis will yield the best results.

Yarn Requirements:

You will need 3-4 fingering weight mini skeins, each weighing 20-25g. For an excellent reference, the sample uses 3 minis from McMullin Fiber Co’s popular Break Up Songs set.
