This pattern was designed for Sock Madness 17, and was the pattern used for the final round.

Note: the yardage mentioned on Ravelry is the amount needed for each of 6 colours

This is a double-knit sock using intarsia in the round. I recommend experience with each of double-knitting and intarsia in the round before trying this sock, though the adventurous knitter may choose to skip either of those.

Intarsia in the round is a bit of a misnomer: while it makes a tube, it is worked in rows rather than continuous rounds. Aside from the heel, each of the six yarns will be used in each row of the sock. (The heel uses only 4 colours.) I do not recommend working two-at-a-time unless you really enjoy having 12 yarns hanging off of your needles.

While only one size is charted, there is a page explaining how to modify the pattern for other sizes. The repeat is 6 pairs of stitches wide, so between that and changing the needle sizes, hopefully you can make a sock that fits your foot.
