Summer Crush Shorties are so quick and fun to knit! They combine my fondness for colourful speckles, a classic cable and stretches of ribbing that make for a great fit. I don’t need to tell you how quick these knit up…you will have a pair or two done in no time! Knit up a stack all summer long to give as gifts or add a colourful collection of shorties to your own sock drawer.

Pattern Highlights include:

  • top down knitting
  • instructions are for Magic Loop (but give tips for DPN knitters)
  • includes a slip stitch heel flap & gusset with square heel
  • keep in mind that cable fabric can result in a more snug fit. I went up a needle size from a stockinette sock, but many testers stayed with their usual needle size
  • ribbing in between the cables makes for a snug excellent fitting sock!
  • these socks need a small amount of yarn (45-55g per pair)
  • this pattern has been professionally tech edited + test knit by amazing generous knitters. Thank you all! xo**
