This pattern has an easy two color, four row repeat in a slip stitch pattern which breaks up the pooling found frequently in variegated yarns. It also has a wonderful squishy feel to it which makes for a hug for your legs and feet. This works well using one plain color and one variegated with plenty of contrast between the two for the best effect. It would also look cool in two solid colors! In the right colors it makes for a nice masculine sock.

Materials:
Yarn: Fingering weight yarn (50 grams color A (solid color) and 50 grams color B (a variegated yarn))

  • Stitch markers (if desired)

Gauge:
8 stitches and 11 rows per inch knit (in both stockinette and in pattern) in the round.
