Painted Waves Socks

Perfect for stash-busting yarns or mini sets, these scrappy socks are designed to be very versatile depending on how many colors you want to use and how much colorwork you want to do. You can use as few as two colors up to however many colors you want, even using a different color for every chart repeat, for a truly scrappy sock!

Make Style 1 (sample 1) if you want only some colorwork on your sock - mostly on the leg plus a small decoration at the end of the foot, with the rest of the sock knit in relaxing stockinette stitch. Make Style 2 (samples 2 & 3) if you want to work the colorwork over the entire sock. You’ll get different looks depending on if you alternate just two colors, change colors every chart repeat (pink & red sample, which alternates five colors) or change colors after every two chart repeats while holding one color throughout (dark brown sample).
