A CHECKERBOARD pattern worked in orange and lavender decorates this sock design from Kelly Menzies. The stranded colourwork is complemented by cuffs, heels and toes in a plum shade. Knitted from the toe up, they have heels shaped using German short rows, and twisted ribbing - be sure to use a stretchy cast-off method for the cuffs. Kelly’s design uses Socks Yeah!, the 4ply yarn from Rachel Coopey. This is available in 33 stunning shades, including elegant colours inspired by minerals, and a range of neon hues.
