Swinging stripes socks
It is super nice to knit these colored ‘swinging stripes’ in stockinette stitch because you don’t knit straight lines but wavy ones when changing colors. These wavy lines are worked out in color charts, which are easy to knit. The pattern is written for knitting with 5 DPNs.

Design your own swinging stripes socks
I chose one of my favorite color combinations to knit these socks: orange and lilac. What color combination do you choose? And do you like to knit an identical pair or two reversed socks, or maybe use 4 or more different colors? It is all possible with this pattern, so feel inspired and design your own version of swinging stripes socks!

Sizes:
EU sizes: 37-41
US sizes: 6.5-9.5
UK sizes: 4-7

Materials:
You can choose any light fingering sock yarn you like, with a gauge of 30 stitches x 42 rows. You can also choose a sock yarn with a different gauge, for instance 28 x 40 (fingering weight). In that case the socks will be a little wider.

I wish you lots of knitting fun! And please note: knitting these socks is a little addictive. They are finished before you know it.
