Eripariset Socks

Jutta Manninen, one of the winners of Novita’s striped sock competition, found inspiration for her socks in the deliciously autumnal palette of 7 Veljestä Raita. Starting the self-striping yarn at a different point in each sock turns one yarn into two playfully different socks. Eripariset (Finnish for “mismatched”) make a perfect pair, even if they are not quite identical.
