Got DK minis? We’ve got you covered! This pattern calls for a bundle of five mini skeins, plus a full skein for the main colour, but I bet you’ll find more than what you need with a little rummaging in your stash!

These socks are made using a simple stranded colourwork pattern. The Medley Socks offer so much potential for expressing your creativity with colour combinations. What a great way to use mini skeins!

Worked in the round from cuff to toe, these socks feature a peasant heel that matches the toe shaping.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Foot Circumference: 6.25 (7.5, 8.5, 9.75, 11) inches/16 (19, 21.5, 25, 28) cm
Foot Length: adjustable to preference
Leg Length: 6.5 inches/16.5 cm as shown in sample, but is adjustable to preference
Because of the nature of stranded colorwork, these socks have minimal stretch. Choose the size closest to your actual foot measurement with no more than 0.75 inches/2 cm negative ease. A neutral or slightly positive ease will also be fine.
Shown in size M with 0.25 inch/.5 cm of negative ease.
