Trip for Two socks are toe up socks pattern with an afterthought heel knitted in fingering weight yarn.

You can place main Mosaic Panel near the toe, cuff or both but bear in mind you may need more yarn for it.

Feel free to use your leftovers and even repeat panels more often.
The design panel is done with mosaic knitting so you will hold only one colour at a time and try to maintain the gauge.

I recommend knitting with two contrast colours one sock at a time to manage yarn balls.

Socks’ pattern is written for a Magic Loop Style Knitting. Your stitches will be divided evenly on to two needles of one long circular needle. N1 will be our needle with a front of the sock, N2 with the back of the sock.

However you can easily adapt pattern for DPNs needles by dividing stitches from N1 to two needles and N2 to another two. I knitted the cuff and foot on 9 inch circulars so work with what work for you the best.

The pattern is knitted for 3 foot size circumference but you can easily adjust it to yours.

Happy Knitting,
