Watermelon socks are a fun, summery project that brings the fresh look of watermelon to your feet! The pattern uses colorwork with a chart, so if you’ve done stranding before, you’ll feel right at home. Just remember to keep your floats loose so the socks don’t pull — change to larger needles if the leg feels tight.

Gauge (4-ply sock yarn):
30 stitches and 40 rows = 10 × 10 cm
