A simple but effect version of stripes.

You need approximately 2.5g per stripe per sock. You shouldn’t need that much but if you adjust the size you will obviously need to adjust it.

I used 20g mini and managed to make this pair of socks and also the fingerless gloves using the same 20g but it does depend on your gauge and size you are making.

You will only need around 50g of main colour as the legs are mainly the contrast colours. Again I managed to use 100g to make the gloves and the socks.

Have fun mixing up the colours this is a great pattern to use up left over yarn pieces.

Match it with my glove pattern for a matching set.
