      These top-down socks feature one main color with a self-striping contrast color. You can also choose two solid colors or a solid main color with a variegated contrast color. The slip stitches create a woven check motif that is fun to knit and mesmerizing to watch as the colors transform throughout the sock. This pattern features a garter stitch heel flap and an easy to memorize pattern repeat. Simply add more pattern repeats to customize the leg and foot length or knit fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg and foot.

      Yarn Ideas
      Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy is a great self-striping marled yarn. One ball of this yarn would work great for the contrast color. I recommend using a solid or semi-solid yarn for the main color to make the texture pop. For an extra colorful version, try using two different self-striping yarns, one for the MC and another for the CC. This would create explosive color shifts in the sock. Experiment with different yarn combinations and have fun!
