Watercolour Socks

A cuff-down sock construction that uses lots of minis to add some colour. Made up of 8 different 10g minis, this playful sock uses stranded colourwork to add some pop. The sock’s cuff, heel and toes are worked with the main colour, and the minis are used interchangeably throughout the rest of the sock. Feel free to use as few or as many colours as you like - these are the perfect socks for using all of your leftover bits.
