In this pattern you use 2 contrasting colors to get a pair of complicated looking socks that are really not as difficult to make as they seem on first glance. Through the years I have seen several patterns where you work 1 round in color A and the next in color B, then A again, then B and so on and so on. The advantage being you only use 1 color per round, so it is exactly like working a single color pattern. You do not need to worry about tension between the different colors like you have to do when doing any colorwork and need to carry the yarn over a number of stitches. You only need to consider tension when switching colors. Or to be honest, you cheat. The endresult looks like you have done very complex colorwork but you really haven’t. But nobody has to know that.
