I love working with mini skein sets. That means I have a lot of teeny tiny leftovers. I really wanted to use those leftovers from my Colourful Geometry wrap, so I turned the whole pattern into socks!

The pattern uses only about 15 yards per mini skein colour. The colourful part is only on the leg, so you can use any mini skeins or favourite leftovers, even those without the nylon content that is generally recommended for socks. Just choose a suitable sock yarn as your main colour.

The knit/purl texture is easy to memorize, so it’s a great portable project. The pattern makes it a more enjoyable knit than just plain vanilla socks. It is also perfect for counting your rows, so you won’t have any trouble making your socks identical. :-)

Pattern is suitable for sock knitting beginners, it has been tested by a first time sock knitter.
