This fun sock pattern is available toe up AND cuff down. The pattern is not written for any specific method of knitting in the round.
There are some fun planning sheets that come with it so that you can plan and colour in your socks to see what they will look like when you knit them!

The pattern is designed in such a way that you will have equal width stripes from cuff to toe!

This pattern is designed and released as part of my yearly DB Socktober Sock A Long and you are welcome to join the sock a long that will be hosted on Instagram for the month of October 2024.
