Sideswept socks

This easy lace pattern makes the most of multi-colored yarns by sweeping the colors to and fro to break up pooling and add interest.

Worked up in SugarbeeStudios Politically Incorrect in Silk/Merino Sock in the Nice Melons colorway, this pattern was the June 2009 pattern for the sock club. A suggested substitute yarn is shown below.

This sock is worked cuff down, magic-loop style. But the pattern is easily adaptable to dpns.
