Discover the charm of these adorable colourwork socks, designed to add a splash of creativity to your knitting projects! With just the right amount of intricate colourwork, these socks will keep every knit stitch engaging and enjoyable. The pattern allows for a maximum of two colours per row, ensuring you won't get tangled up in too many strands as you work. This makes it an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced knitters looking to explore colourwork without the hassle!
When a third colour is needed, the clever slipped stitch technique comes into play, simplifying the process and enhancing the visual interest of your socks. You'll love the way the colours blend seamlessly, creating a stunning finished product that you can wear with pride.
These delightful socks come in two sizes, accommodating a range of foot measurements:
