Description:
Let’s Mix Colors socks is a pattern that gives you the opportunity to play with 2 contrasting colors and create fun and cozy pair of socks. You’ll work with stripes and color blocks, and a little bit of colorwork (fair isle). Holding together 2 strands of fingering weight yarn, you’ll get the DK weight gauge, and socks work pretty quickly.
These are cuff-down socks with an afterthought heel and classic wedge toe.
The pattern is fully written and has a small chart for colorwork.
