With beginner colorwork knitters in mind, Alexis designed these socks from the toe up to help ease into the practice of changing colors at the toes and heels. A simplified Scandinavian pattern is worked in stranded colorwork at the cuffs.

Sizes 7½ (8, 8½)“ foot circumference and 8½ (9, 9¾)” long from back of heel to tip of toe; shown in size 8”
