The name of these socks comes from Balance Rock in Western MA, where the designer took the modeled shots.

These toe up socks were designed to bust your stash! They will also look great in two different 50 gram balls.

This pattern is a super easy introduction to slip stitch knitting, & comes with 2 sizes - 8” & 9” around.

You will need: Approximately 20-25 grams MC (110-120 yards) & 70-80 (320-360 yards) grams of assorted CC in fingering weight sock yarn, set of 5 size US 1 / 2.25 mm DPNs, stitch marker. Approximately 5.5 (6.5) yards of yarn used for each repeat.

Designer suggests using similar types of yarn to keep the contrast between colors more obvious!
