This pattern is free as a thank you to all you wonderful sock knitters who support my work!

One of my favourite comfort knits is a simple sock that lets the yarn do the talking! Hand dyed yarns can do so many fun things in socks that sometimes we don’t want to talk over them with fancy stitches. It’s also fun to mix it up a little with colour and I love to make simple stripy socks, perfect for using up mini skeins or yarn ends. This pattern is written just for those two goals! Simple but super fun to make socks!

These socks can be made with one skein of Socknado yarn and/or a combination of mini skeins and yarn left-overs! Use your imagination to combine colours, or let a single skein do the talking for you.

Yarn estimates are based on a leg length of 15cm / 6” and a large foot. You may require more or less yarn depending on how you customize length.
