Color Me Stripes

This sock was inspired by the wonderful varied colors available from Frankie Grey Fibers. I had a 5 skein mini set that I chose 3 colors to use with a full skein. Then, I added texture and played with color. It is a great sock to use one or many contrast colors with, use minis or leftover sock yarns (we all have lots of those).

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be the back of foot/leg and heel. Sized from child to large adult these are perfect socks for the whole family.

Mid-calf length sock sample was knit size 3 with Frankie Grey Fibers fingering weight ‘Soft Aqua’, 52g for MC and 3 minis from the ‘Retro Vibes’ mini set, 19g total for all 3 CC’s. Shortie sock sample was knit size 3 with Knit Picks Stroll fingering weight ‘Dove Heather’, 31g for MC and Lang Yarns Jawoll fingering weight ‘Medallion’, 16g for CC.
