Every sock knitter seems to be unexplainably drawn to those amazingly variegated Hand-Dyed yarns. We can’t seem to get enough of them. But let’s be honest, Hand-Dyed yarns can be difficult to pair with a pattern. Either the complexity of the pattern is lost in the variegation of the colors, or the color pattern spiraling up the leg can distract from the stitch pattern as the eye focuses on the pooling or a zigzagging of colors. This pattern is the perfect solution to that problem. The pattern smoothly transitions from one color to the next, effectively confusing the eye and disrupting any sort of color patterning.
