Braided Stitchery
This design was one of my joke ideas--Sock Braids for Hairy Legs--and then it turned out to be beautiful! I think it looks like a field of clover with forest in the background. Mixing a solid accent color with a variegated main color is very comforting; like a warm berry pie with a dollop of ice cream. I also really liked how the length of the design goes all the way to the toes of this swatch sock. Playing with length of the Color Loops is always a bit of a gamble, but here you can take advantage of my good luck and use my Color Loop length suggestions (still a gamble, but should be close!) or go with your own preference if you want to work with shorter loops.
