Stranger Things! Everyone is talking about it these days. My children encouraged me to design some socks using this show as a theme, and what better way to knit about this show than to have a mystery Knit-along?

Inspired by the fabulous Steve (and his hair) and Robin, this is a relatively simple, but fun sock pattern. There are several techniques involved, mostly in quite small doses. You can do amazing and strange things with yarn!!

Four sizes available: 7, 8, 9, 10 inch circumference, unstretched

Yarn requirements (fingering weight sock yarn, roughly 440 yds/100 gms):

100 gms main color
50 gms contrast color 1
20 gms contrast color 2 (optional)

Main color and contrast 1 should be fairly high contrast (light/dark); color 2, which is optional, should be a fun “pop” color.

Clues will be released on: Sept. 1, Sept. 8, Sept. 15, and Sept. 22.

Knit-along threads will be happening in both the Greene House group, found here, as well as in the Nerdopolis group.
