An easy knit with simple slipped stitches, the stripes of contrast make these socks stand out in the crowd.

These striking unisex socks make great use of bold and colorful yarns.

Worked toe-up using the magic loop method, they can easily be done either one or two at a time, and they can also be knit with DPNs or 2 circular needles. Judy’s Magic Cast On is used along with a gusseted short row heel. Directions are both written and charted.
