The Holly Berry Charity Socks include a colourwork chart and some basic sock instructions to adapt the pattern to your favourite 4ply vanilla sock pattern.
It`s an easy beginner colourwork project as you never carry more than 2 strands at the same time. The sock is worked cuff down.

Instructions are given for 64/72/80 stiches

Keep in mind that most people need around 20% more stiches for colorwork to reach the same fit of their socks.

You can use your preffered knitting technique (DPN/ Magic loop/ short circulars)
I worked with short circulars (2.5 and 2.25 mm) and worked Sock 1 (right foot) and 2 (left foot) differently to make sure the beginning of the round is on the inside of the sock.

I used about 35 g of main colour (white), 25 g of the green and 10g of the red yarn. I used Lang Yarn Jawoll and Lana Grossa Meilenweit Merino extra fine, but every 4ply sock yarn works

As the socks are not test knitted, please feel free to send me your corrections and I will optimize the pattern

To spread the Christmas love, feel free to gift the socks or pattern to all your loved ones or donate them to those in need.
