Say “goodbye” to 2020!

Knit away a year that started normal… to a covid shutdown, sheltering at home, learning to zoom, from marches to RGB, maybe you adopted a pet. Watching wildfires burn, a record setting hurricane season, to a second wave (shortages of toilet paper again?). Finishing with a historic election and wearing a mask to say “goodbye” to 2020.

This pair of socks are sure to mark history. Someday a family member will find them and ask “What was that year like?”

Materials:

Bye Bye 2020 Sock Kit
from Lazy Bee Yarns
12 Baby Bees - Fingering weight yarn
80% Superwash Merino, 20% Nylon
80 yards each for a total of 960 yards.*
The “Covid” yellow even glows in the dark under black light.

Kit is available for purchase at Knit-Paper-Scissors

• kit is enough yarn to make two pairs of socks, although color amounts may differ depending on your gauge and any color changes made.

Construction:

Knit top down… this pattern assumes inherent knowledge of stranded knitting techniques, including adjustment of needle size to obtain correct gauge, insertion of an after thought heel with your preferred method for decreasing heel and toe.

Special thanks to the staff at KPS that contributed patterns, ideas, proofed, designed the charts and listened as the idea grew into a project. XOXO Angie
