NSTANT PDF DOWNLOAD - I HAVE CONFIDENCE SOCKS

The I Have Confidence Socks (named as an ode to my favorite musical) are a great staple for any sock drawer! Featuring Faux Cables for an easy knitting experience, I also designed them to be a great way to use up scrap yarns that you may have lying about. I have colorwork options for 2 accent colors, 3 accent colors, or 6 accent colors - you can get as creative as you like and the possibilities are endless!

This pattern features written instructions for a German Short Row Heel (although your preferred heel can be substituted), and is worked from the cuff down.

The yardage for this pattern is available in the photos section, taken directly from the pattern so you can accurately plan your colors! I used 6 colors in this sample, using The Paradise Sock Set from Moonglow Yarn Co (her sock sets that she dyes would be perfect for this pattern!)

Any Superwash Merino/Nylon Sock yarn in fingering weight would work well for this pattern.

Level: Intermediate - knitter should be very comfortable with knitting colorwork stitches and concepts as well as lace and sock shaping techniques.
