This textured pattern is ideal for all those colorful variegated sock yarns out there!

Instructions are written out, there’s also a chart for the textured pattern.

The textured pattern is worked all around the hand.

Skill level: easy.

Techniques: knit/purl in the round and flat, yarn over, picking up stitches.
