Sometimes the leftover yarn can be quite inspiring. Trying to use it up produced this pair of socks.

The colorwork section, knit this way, has very little stretch and feels almost felted, so it has to be very close to the correct size. You will have to swatch to achieve the desired size and thickness of the material, and possibly adjust the needle and yarn sizes as necessary, as well as add or remove a section of the pattern. The color pattern is an 8-stitch repeat. The white pattern is a 4-stitch repeat. Make sure your stitch count will accommodate the pattern.
