Hieman ujot sukkaraidat Socks

Before Novita’s striped sock competition, Minna Keinänen had never designed socks, yet the competition inspired her to enter with no fewer than three designs. Hieman ujot sukkaraidat (Finnish for “slightly shy sock stripes”) are knitted with 7 Veljestä Raita in the colour Rainbow. The gradually changing shades of the striped yarn bring joy and surprise to the socks and make them especially addictive to knit.
