Extra Frosting Socks
Inspired by layers of extra frosting that decorate a birthday cake, these fun socks feature perfectly ruched ankles, thanks to several columns of slip stitches. The fun details in this design are highlighted by this visually complex yarn.
These top-down socks begin with a German Twisted Cast On followed by 1x1 Rib for the cuff. The super-easy ruched pattern for the ankle is next, followed by the slip stitch heel flap, turned heel, and gusset. The columns of slip stitches morph into knit-2 ridges against the purled background on the top of the instep. The heel, sole, and toe of sock are all smooth Stockinette Stitch.
