Rayures Décousues translated in English means “scrappy stripes”. The design was created specifically for those beautiful leftovers or minis that have been yearning to be transformed into unique, exquisite one-of-a-kind socks.

For beginners, this pattern is the ideal next step. It’s a straightforward classic rib knitting project that can be produced fast, using less than half of the main color and one gram less yarn for each contrast stripe.

The magic loop technique is used to knit the sample Rayures Décousues cuff-down. You can also use double-pointed needles. The pattern includes three adult sizes, color schematics, how to links, and written directions with two heel variations.
