If you’re new to knitting and feeling a bit adventurous, you’ve found the right pattern to level up your skills! If you’re an old pro, this simple design has just enough lace to keep things interesting, but not too much to disrupt your knitflix night. Priorities! This design will lay flat and look nice on both sides; there really is no right or wrong side.

Note that in this pattern, we will be using a total of 6 colors of sock weight yarn. Sample shown in Knit Stitch Softy Sock colorway Julia and Knit Stitch Knot Fall Mini Sock Set.

Size: One size, measuring 7”/18 cm wide by 80”/203 cm long after blocking.

Yarn: 425 yards/390 meters of sock weight yarn in main color and 75 yards/70 meters of sock weight yarn in each contrasting colors, 5 additional colors total; a total of 800 yards.

Needles: Size US 8/5 mm straight needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.

Gauge: 18 - 19 stitches and 24 rows = 4”/10 cm square in Garter stitch (with yarn held double, after blocking).

Notions: Blocking mat, pins, blocking wires (optional, but very useful for nice straight edges), and a tapestry needle.

Techniques: Basic knitting increases and decreases, knit 3 together, and yarn over.
