ABOUT
This pattern is designed ideally for variegated and speckled yarn and provides an interesting repeat to knit. The sock is designed based on six foot circumferences, and has an adjustable foot length. It is knit from the cuff down, with a short-row heel, and a round toe. The leg height can be easily adjusted to be shorter or taller by repeating pattern more or fewer times.
