Do the lines on these socks zig zag? Or do they wiggle? They ziggle! Vertical stranding with simple increases and decreases creates stripes that move up the outside of each sock. This pattern provides a great opportunity to use a speckled or variegated yarn with a strong contrast for the ziggle.

Pattern includes Small, Medium, and Large sizes which will result in a 7 (8, 9)”/17.5 (20, 22.5) cm finished circumference when knit at gauge. Choose your size to allow for 1”/2.5 cm negative ease

Yarn needs:
~Main Color: Sock/Fingering weight yarn; approximately 400 yd (366 m)
~Contrast Color: Sock/Fingering weight yarn; approximately 15 yd (14 m)
Yarns with strong contrast will provide the best results.
