I really, really like making efficient use of my yarn and want to use up every last bit of magic. After numerous pairs of socks, or perhaps a massive holiday miniskein project, you might ask yourself, “What’s up next?”

Try these socks! They’re perfect for even the tiniest leftovers (seriously, some of my strands were only a yard long). They give you an excuse to play with color. (Rainbow? Gradient? Monochrome? Totally random and wild? Matching socks? Fraternal?) Three strands of sock yarn held together add up to some seriously squishy socks – the equivalent of Aran weight. Let no scrap be left behind!

What test knitters had to say:

• “Quick knit. Loved it - easy to follow, used some of my stash and very cosy and comfy.”
• “I love the effect when the individual strands of yarn are used from the different colours.”
• “It was super fun! Great use of left over yarns.”
• “Crystal clear pattern.”

Sizes (sock circumference):
Choose a size 0-1”/0-2.5 cm smaller than actual foot circumference, as holding yarn tripled makes fabric less stretchy.

• 1: 5.25”/13.5 cm
• 2: 6.25”/16 cm
• 3: 7”/18 cm
• 4: 7.75”/19.5 cm
• 5: 8.5”/21.5 cm
• 6: 9.25”/23.5 cm
