These stranded colorwork socks were inspired by the musical Mamma Mia! The starry pattern calls to mind the ambiance and flashy costumes worn by Donna and the Dynamos when they perform. The socks were designed cuff-down with a reinforced slipped stitch heel flap and gusset, ending in a wide toe. The Dancing Queen sock pattern works well with a multicolored or tonal yarn alongside a contrasting solid yarn, or two highly contrasting solid yarns.
