A Series of Tubes

$6.00

If you’re a knitting enthusiast, you know the joy of working with self-striping sock yarn. The enchanting effect of gradual color changes brings a touch of magic to every pair of socks, captivating the attention of non-knitters when they see the finished product. After creating countless self-striping socks in traditional stockinette with a simple ribbed cuff, I felt inspired to elevate my design by incorporating more texture and visual interest.

Introducing these unique self-striping socks, meticulously designed to showcase your favorite self-striping sock yarn! The pattern features two eye-catching reverse stockinette “tubes” flanking a section of elegant ribbing on the leg. These three-dimensional tubes, which add depth and creativity to your knitting, are meant to be worked in a contrasting color from your striping sequence, making them pop beautifully against your chosen palette. The tubes are crafted with a joined hem at the cuff and a sleek welt just above the heel, adding sophisticated details to your sock design.

When it comes to yarn requirements, keep in mind that the amount you’ll need varies based on the size you knit and the length of the foot. While this pattern is primarily written for sport weight yarn, it is versatile enough to be adapted for use with fingering weight yarn as well. Whether you are an experienced knitter or a novice eager to try something new, this pattern offers a delightful challenge.

Rest assured, this pattern has been professionally tech edited to ensure clarity and accuracy, so you can knit with confidence. Dive into the world of dynamic textures and playful color combinations with these self-striping socks, a perfect addition to any knitter's collection!
