Is it one pair or two? Contrasting top and bottom cuffs give these socks a layered look. With fun and interesting colorwork from top to toe, there’s never a dull moment. Stranded colorwork at the cuff and slip-stitch stripes and checkers on heel and toe make them fun to knit from beginning to end.

The first cuff is knitted to the second; a link to video instructions for this process is included with the pattern. Charts are included for the stranded colorwork, and there are detailed instructions for the slip-stitch patterns, which are much simpler than they appear.

You’ll need one 50-gram skein each of orange, brown, and green (or choose your own colorway). You’ll also need 2 stitch holders or an extra circular needle in the same size.
