The Two Birds Sock pattern includes two ways to knit them - in a single colour with just a little detail or in lots of colours with all-over texture. They’re knit from the top down and in the round with a heel flap and gusset for a perfect fit. Want to knit with that special skein of yarn? Want to use a skein of self-striping yarn in a new way? Or do you want to go wild with colour and use all your scraps and minis?

Whichever way you choose to knit, I bet you can’t stop at just one pair.

Needles & Notions
US1 / 2.25 mm 32” / 80 cm circular needles; or 9” circular needles; or double-pointed needles, for working small sock circumference in the round in your preferred method, or size to obtain gauge, tapestry needle, stitch markers.

Yarn & Yardage
For these socks, you can do anything with your yarn choices! I made a single colour version with just the detail on the top, and a multicolour version with the details all throughout the sock. For the multicolour version I used a self striping yarn for my CC, but if you’re feeling scrappy you can change your CC on every eyelet repeat! Each eyelet stripe uses less than 1g of yarn.
