These top-down socks are knitted with one semi-solid main color and a self-striping contrast color like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy. Stripes and slip stitches with cables form the twisted columns along the leg and top foot. These socks are relaxing to knit with the simple stitch pattern repeat. Choose a light and dark color for high contrast socks or go soft and subtle with two shades that are closer together in contrast. Other features include 2x2 ribbing for the cuff, a slip stitch heel flap, and stockinette stitch stripes for the sole of the foot.
