Clearly confused. Alone together. Weirdly normal. Bittersweet. 2020 has been full of oxymorons and contradictions, so it seems only natural that I should be designing for Christmas in July! These socks play with contradictions, mixing up colors to create something truly unique. While most knitting lace charts have an even number of rows, this one has an odd number. It might seem crazy, but it all works together to create a perfect pair. Choose your favorite sock yarn in six colors like the sample, in a single color, or in a different color for every stripe. Sometimes it’s the contradictions in life that create the happiest surprises!
