Quartet Socks
The Quartet Socks are a fun way to use up scrap sock yarn that you might have, while still keeping things interesting! The pattern is written from the cuff down, and has written instructions for a German Short Row Heel (feel free to substitute for your favorite heel!)
The pattern includes written instructions and a colorwork chart.
This is an intermediate level pattern! The knitter should be very comfortable with knitting colorwork stitches and concepts as well as sock shaping techniques.
You will need a fingering weight yarn! Superwash Merino/Nylon or other sock yarn that blocks nicely and is durable for wear.
The pattern is written for 3 colors with 1 contrasting color. However, you can use more colors! I provide yardage for each single colorblock in each size, so you can use up more scraps/mini skeins if you would like instead of sticking to the 4 colors as written! Feel free to get creative!

Needles: US Size 1, 9 inch circular/ DPN’s / Magic Loop OR size that meets gauge
US Size 1.5 or 2 needles for colorwork (if you find your tension is tight)
Note: The pattern is written according to stitch count and in relation to stitch markers –this means you can use any tool/technique for making your socks that you prefer. Also note, that if you decide to use 9 inch circular needles, that you will need DPN’s for closing the toe.
Let me know if you have any questions, and happy knitting!
