With color blocking & stripes combined together in this simple sock design, you’re almost guaranteed success with any colors you choose. It is a stash-buster’s dream—feel free to add more colors or take some away and create your own color configurations! Choose high-contrast colors to make those stripes really pop, or low-contrast colors for a more subtle and subdued version. In addition to practicing your stripe colorwork, you also get a small taste of the fun you can have with slipped stitches. Occurring just on the front of the leg and the top of the foot, these slipped stitches add a quaint polka-dotted touch without diminishing the statement of the stripes!
