I was inspired to knit this sock pattern after seeing the 1960s era vinyl flooring in my family’s cottage on Canandaigua Lake.

• Needles, 36” or 40” circular needles:
  • 2.25 mm / US 1 for cuffs, heels & toes -2.5 mm / US 1.5 for 2-strand colorwork
• Gauge: 32 sts x 34 rounds = 10 cm / 4“ on 2.5mm needles For best results, knit a colorwork swatch in-the-round, wet block, and lay flat to dry
• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn 80%/20% or 75%/25% wool/nylon blend. You will use approx 40, 60, 80, 100g of a main color (MC) -One or more contrasting colors (CC). Each chart section uses no more than 4g per chart, per pair of socks.
• It is highly recommended that you use solid or semisolid yarns with high contrast colors to achieve crisp colorwork.­

What you’ll need:

• Progress Keeper
• Stitch Marker

Sizing: S, M, L, XL
These are finished sock sizes. Find the measurement
around the ball of your foot and subtract an inch/2.5cm
to account for negative ease and a snug-fitting sock

Small (56st) = approx 7”/17.8cm
Medium (64st) = approx 8”/20.3cm
Large (72st) = approx 9”/22.8cm
Extra Large (80st) = approx 10”/25.4cm
