This is a sock recipe to create a pair of colorwork socks inspired by the participating country flags from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Patterns are based on a 72-stitch sock, and charts only are included for most countries (but not all—I ran out of feet, sorry).

This is a great way to use up scraps or partials of fingering weight yarn. Pattern is a recipe only and assumes familiarity with sock construction. You can do either top-down or toe up with your choice of cuff, heel and toe.

Warning! If you are printing with a color printer, the pattern is in full color and chart-heavy.
