This sock pays tribute to the classic, bright colors of the 90s. I remember painting everything with bright colors in my elementary school art classes, and now I get to do the same with yarn! Now you can bring this timeless style wherever you go.

TECHNIQUES
These socks are knit cuff-down with two colorwork charts and a heel flap and gusset.
The cup cozy is knit top-down in the round with one colorwork chart.

SIZING
The sock pattern uses 3 sizes: S (M, L). The socks are designed to fit approximate foot circumference 8 (9, 10) inches. This can vary based on gauge, needle size, and sock fit preference. Please ensure that your chosen size matches with your knitting style materials, and preferred fit.

The cup cozy is one size. Additional sizes can be achieved by going up or down a needle size or using different yarn weights.

GAUGE
In blocked stockinette stitch, 4” x 4” = 32 sts x 36 rounds
