This quick stripey sock was designed for my 11 year old daughter who just got Peek-a-Boots and needs some fun socks to show off. She also refuses to wear matching socks so I bought 4 skeins of Cascade Pacific to make fun stripes and then switch the order of the colors for the second sock. It is made from the cuff down on #5 dpns in worsted weight so they are thick socks. They are ribbed so the cuffs are very stretchy. Have fun with the stripes!
