Yarn Suggestion

The colorwork pulls the socks together, so fingering weight sock yarn typically works. Sample socks have been knitted in Filcolana Arwetta and Sandnes Sunday.

One ball of each colour is enough.

Difficulty level

In terms of colorwork, this pattern is of medium difficulty:

In some parts of the chart you will have several stitches after one another in the same colour, which creates floats on the wrong side. These should be locked in by twisting the two yarns around one another, as this is a children’s sock pattern where tiny toes could otherwise get caught in the floats. However, the floats are mainly five or seven stitches long, so this is an easier pattern than for instance Gingerbread Socks.
