Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel sock, knitted up toe to cuff!
Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel sock, you can never get enough!

Yarn

This project uses fingering weight yarn. The sample uses By Amalie Merino Sock, a 75% superwash merino / 25% nylon blend 4-ply fingering weight yarn, 100g (464 yds / 425 m) - exact shades in parentheses. Due to the nature of colorwork, the following amounts are approximate only:

MC: 40 g (185 yds / 170 m) Dark blue (Hamsa)
CC1: 10 g (45 yds / 40 m) Orange (Esh)
CC2: 10 g (45 yds / 40 m) Cream (Shamenet)
CC3: 10 g (45 yds / 40 m) Teal (Dreidel)

Notes on CC choices

The sock is shown with 3 contrast colors; however, you can use just one for a simpler look or use up scraps for constantly changing dreidel colors.

If you choose a different number of CC, bear in mind that you will need a total amount of approx 30 g (140 yds / 120 m) of CC. All CC should contrast with the MC, but strong contrast between the CCs is not necessary.
