Yassify
To yassify something is to apply so many beauty filters to a picture that the subject becomes almost unrecognizable. So let’s elevate the plain sock by making it extra beautiful! These toe-up socks’ workhorse ribbing erupts into celebratory birthday candles (for that classic soft portrait light) and ribbing reminiscent of elegant crowns that only the most elite in society get to wear.

What test knitters had to say:
“I loved it! It was engaging enough to keep me interested but automatic enough to be relaxing.”
“Love the heel. Fits my high instep like a dream.”
“I like the pattern layout & the detailed written instructions plus the tips (e.g., how to calculate when to start the gusset if the knitter’s gauge is significantly different from the pattern’s).”
“Fun pattern - just about the time you get bored with the foot it’s time to do something different.”
