The cute and feminine Eclair Socks colourwork edition are a perfect stashbuster sock project to use up some leftover yarn! I included a table where yarn amounts are given for each colourwork section so you can mix and match which section you want to knit in your contrast colour. This makes the socks completely individual and also allows you to use up as much stash yarn as you can. ❤️

The colourwork is pretty easy so it´s also perfect if you want to try stranded colourwork for the first time! The colourwork pattern is availabe both as a chart and as written out instructions.
The socks are worked top-down with a shadow wrap heel and a kitchener stitch toe.

Included in the pattern are links to helpful videos for the norwegian cast-on, catching floats when working colourwork and working shadow wrap turns.

For sizes S (M) L you cast on 60 (66) 72 stitches which fits a calf circumference of approximatly 24 (27) 29,5 cm. The pattern is written for DPNs, but of course you can modify it for your preferred technique, e.g. Magic Loop or knitting in the round on small circumference needles.
