Dots! Stripes! Shorties! What can be more fun, both for the knitter and the wearer of these socks. This is a super simple & easy 2-color stranded knitting, broken by chunks of plain stockinette that was inspired by advent minis I received. The simplicity of these socks will be perfect for those that are looking for something a little more than stockinette, but without too much effort.
So if it’s so simple, where is the fun bit you ask? The pattern provides instructions for a Forethought Heel, however, if you prefer, you can use any short-row heel pattern i
The instructions are to knit cuff-down, with the magic-loop method, but can easily be adapted to be knit toe-up. Hope you enjoy it!
