“Flour and yolk and cream are all coarse- of the earth. But sugar and air and vanilla are elements of the firmament. Avis used to tell her kids: Sweets should be an evanescence, cakes and pies represent minutes, cookies and milles-feuilles are seconds, meringues are moments.”
― Diana Abu-Jaber, Birds of Paradise

This is a pattern for a pair of socks. Each is worked in the round, but for the heel which is worked flat.

Sweetshop Socks are worked from the cuff down and using the stranded colourwork technique. The heel uses the French heel technique, working a flap and then working short rows to turn the heel. Once the heel, foot, and toe is worked, the toe is then closed by grafting.

3 colours are listed, but you may mix and match as you like over the simple patterning.
