Part of the Main & Mini Sock Series! Be sure to check out the series for an early bird special.

This sock is the first in the series designed for sock sets with a main skein + two mini skeins. These socks were inspired by the Long Dog Yarn “Hades” sock set and Greek key patterns.

These toe-up socks feature a unique gently angled toe, shaped for right and left feet, and have a smooth hybrid mini-gusset/short-row heel. The patterning is achieved with stranded knitting. There is one round per motif that uses three strands in the round, for a total of 3 rounds per sock using three strands, but all other stranded rounds use only two per round.

Sample socks are size 3/ 72 st. Yarn used in sample socks is Long Dog Yarn Bounce Sock in the “Hades” sock set with “Pain” and “Panic” mini skeins.
