Faded Princess Socks
The Faded Princess Socks pattern is a basic ribbed sock pattern with a couple unique elements. The socks are knit cuff down, with a heel flap and gusset, and a wedge toe. It is knit in 2 x 2 ribbing, with a princess sole which makes these socks super comfy for anyone with sensitive feet! The ribbing allows for a fitted but not tight fit, and the princess sole is a reverse stockinette sole so the knit side is what is touching your feet (nice and smooth!). These are knit in a fade down the leg using two colours of fingering weight yarn. I used the soft, squishy Knitpicks Muse fingering yarn.
