This sock was designed in conjunction with Hazel Knits yarn for their 2019 Fibre Space pop up. The colors for the diamond patterning are shown using the Fibre Space color kit, but it is also a great way to use mini skeins or leftovers!

Fingering weight sock yarn in 4 colors - one main color and three contrast colors:

MC: 250-350 yds
CC1: 40-60 yds
CC2: 30-50 yds
CC3: 25-45 yds

There are four sizes - XS, Small, Med, and Large. The stitch count is for the leg ribbing & colorwork with the option to decrease before the heel for the remainder of the sock.

The pattern calls for a US size 1 (2.25mm) needle, but the option is given to go up one needle size (US size 1.5 - 2.5mm) for the colorwork portions.

Information is provided in the pattern regarding:

  • Gauge and adjusting for fit
  • Yarn dominance
  • Maximizing float length for stranded colorwork
