Choose five colors of fingering weight sock yarn to knit these playful socks. This pattern was inspired by the textures and colorwork of the Shawlography pattern. Begin with 2x2 ribbing and then explore criss cross stitches, slip stitches, welts, bobbles, brioche, and more as you work your way from the cuff down to the toe. This pattern is great for using leftover sock yarns because you need small amounts of each color. Gather some fun color pops and cast on!

Sizes
1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

Finished Measurements
7 (8, 9, 10, 11)″ / 18 (20, 23, 25, 28)cm ankle and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 8 (9, 10, 11, 12)″ / 20 (23, 25, 28, 30)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm or 1.5″ / 4cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot.

The lengths of the cuff, ankle, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more textured pattern repeats for a longer ankle or foot or fewer textured pattern repeats for a shorter ankle or foot.
