Want to knit some footwear that’s quick and simple but more than just another “vanilla” sock? Then Coureur is for you. Retro and unisex in style and reminiscent of the athletic footwear of the ‘70’s, these socks with their cool stripes and dead-simple variation on a rib, make a statement. Race through these in a DK-weight yarn. Matching stripes, different stripes, a mismatched pair where the stripe of one becomes the main color of the other or completely solid - so many possibilities, but the choice is yours.
