Strut is the first pattern in a series of socks designed for self striping yarn that I released throughout 2015 and 2016, Striped Strides. You can find the sequel collection, Striped Strides 2, here.

You’ll find yourself wanting to strut through your day in these fun and colorful socks. They feature a unique stitch pattern that warps the stripes in the yarn throughout the leg. Then they transition to a zig-zag design over the foot.

Though designed for self striping yarn, because there’s a different stitch count every other row these socks would probably be good for breaking up pooling in a variegated yarn. They also look fabulous in a solid or semi solid yarn.

These socks are knit cuff down and feature an afterthought heel.

Notes on Sizing
This pattern comes in 3 different sizes, 68 st, 76 st, and 84 st. The stitch pattern is very tight and doesn’t stretch very much, so you’ll want to knit a size that is 6-10 stitches larger than what you would normally knit a stockinette sock in. For instance, if you would normally knit a 60 st stockinette sock, you’ll want to knit the small (68 st) size. If you normally knit a 70 st sock, you’ll want to knit the medium (76 st) size. If you’re not sure which size to make, I would suggest you err on the side of a larger sock.

E-Book Information
Throughout 2015, and a little of 2016, I released 5 patterns designed for self-striping yarn. Each pattern is available for sale individually, but additionally they are available as a group. This is the ebook listing, although you won’t actually receive a book if you use that option. Instead you’ll receive a group of individual patterns.

This means that there are two purchasing options. You may purchase whichever patterns you desire individually, for $4 each, or you may purchase all 5 together, for $18.
