Searching for a sock pattern that’s going to give you maximum impact for minimal effort? This might be just the thing for you! The colourwork fade featured up the legs of the Excel sock looks super striking but is actually really simple to knit. In fact, it’s the perfect introduction to knitting colourwork socks because the pattern is simple and intuitive, with only very short floats to manage. While the instructions in the pattern are written for working toe up on a magic loop, it can be easily adapted to cuff down or DPNs if you would prefer.

This is going to be the perfect project for using up those tiny precious scraps you’ve got lingering around so now is the time to go and dive head first into your stash to see what you can create. I can’t wait to see what you find!
