How would you like to knit a pair of socks that have multi colored rows in the leg and foot of the sock with no strands to weave in or floats to carry?
Using a 9” Circular needle you will create a pair of Helix Stripe Socks using a 9” circular needle. The cuff, leg, heel and foot will all be done with a 9” circular needle. The toes will be done with a 32” circular needle.

Choosing Yarn
