These colorful Chameleonic Socks are all about the fun of watching self-striping colors unfold as you knit.

 Start by picking your colors and look for a solid contrast that brings out the unexpected shades in your self-striping yarn. The pattern begins at the heel with garter stitch short rows. Then, stitches are picked up for the heel turn and sole of the foot knitted flat in stockinette stitch and garter stitch zig zags.

The modular construction continues with wavy stripes for the back leg followed by a folded picot hem knitted in the round. Slip stitch cables flow down the leg and top foot as you knit the edge stitches together for an entirely seamless technique. Finally, a simple striped toe completes these adventurous multi-directional socks.

Try a self-striping yarn like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy as color B with a contrasting solid sock yarn for a playful color combination.
