I Heart Argyle Socks
“I Heart Argyle Socks” are top down socks that begin with a 2x2 ribbed cuff and then a stranded colorwork pattern makes up the leg and foot of the sock. Waste yarn is placed for an afterthought (peasant) heel. After finishing the sock, the third color that creates the crossed diamond motif is worked in duplicate stitching.
Special thanks to my wonderful test knitters (Ravelry users bookwoman, ChiaraPaleari, Lucilius, ndineen, peglenn, Sueb61, and UnicornTess) - check out their beautiful work and lovely color palettes in the projects tab!
