Designed to use up all the scraps of yarn left after knitting several pairs of socks. The stripe sequence can be as random or as regular as you choose, but using one strong plain or semi-plain colour for the heels and cuffs does help to make the colours look planned. The socks also look good using just two colours or one plain colour.

Requires about 70 gms or 280 metres/300 yards 4 ply/fingering sock yarn.

If you are working with very small balls of yarn it is helpful to know that 3.5 metres is sufficient for one four round stripe plus 15-20cm/6-8 inches either end for tails. A little more in the gusset area or if working a larger size.
