Mini Mania Socks
Welcome to the delightful world of Mini Mania socks! These socks are expertly knitted cuff down using an array of vibrant mini skeins, allowing you to achieve the perfect 5-row stripe repeat for a unique and eye-catching design. With our ingenious technique, you won’t have to carry yarns along the sock, making the process easier and more enjoyable. Plus, you'll have only six ends to weave in per sock, ensuring a clean finish and a virtually jogless stripe sequence!
Yarn Requirements: For these socks, you will need 6 to 7 x 20g of RiverKnits British Bluefaced Leicester mini skeins, which provides a generous yardage of 400m/437yds per 100g. For the first pair, I utilized a beautiful palette including Shadow Jade for the contrast cuffs, heels, and toes, along with Earth Green, Shadow Orange, Earth Tomato, Shadow Crimson, and Earth Yellow. In the second pair, the Shadow Jade was swapped out for a stunning Unicorn Violet, adding a fresh twist to the design.
From just 7 x 20g mini skeins, you can create both a 64-stitch size 7 sock and a 60-stitch size 7 sock comfortably. If you are crafting a sock with up to a 64-stitch count, you will only need 6 x mini skeins. However, for those looking to knit a larger sock with a stitch count of 68 or more, you’ll need an additional 20g skein specifically for your heel, toe, and cuff color. Remarkably, it is possible to complete two pairs of fabulous socks from just 7 x 20g mini skeins!
Experiment with your color combinations and embrace the joy of knitting with Mini Mania socks. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this pattern offers a playful and rewarding knitting experience. Get ready to create beautiful, striped socks that are not only stylish but also uniquely your own!
