Proud to Be

The design for these socks evolved from my desire to add a little extra fun to self-striping yarn without getting in the way of the character of the yarn. The slipped-stitch colorwork patterning does that with a pattern that is simple and intuitive to knit once you understand how it works. While it was designed to be worked over four-row stripes, the patterning will work on any self-striping sock yarn that creates stripes at least three rows tall.

Beyond the stitch pattern, this is a good, solid, toe-up sock pattern that will teach or expand your sock skills, full of tips and tutorials on Kitchener stitch, afterthought heels, textured colorwork, and a bind-off that may be new to you — because we can always be proud of learning new skills!
