Life is too short for boring socks. Knit them loud. Wear them louder.

Mardi Gras Party Socks are bold fingering weight colorwork socks featuring harlequin-style diamonds around the leg, cheerful polka dots across the top of the foot, and a striped sole hidden underneath.

The sample was knit in traditional Mardi Gras-inspired purple, green, and gold using Wollmeise Twin in Orchidee, Limone, and Wasabi, but this pattern is easy to customize with your own favorite high-contrast color trio. Try festival colors, team colors, school colors, holiday colors, or any palette that makes your sock drawer feel like it got invited to the party.

This pattern includes:
• 72-stitch and 80-stitch chart options
• Adult Sm/Med and Large/XL sizing
• Stranded colorwork charts
• Twisted rib cuff
• Short-row heel instructions
• Visual heel photo tutorial
• Polka dot foot chart
• Striped sole chart
• Size markers for foot length and toe shaping

This pattern is best suited for intermediate or adventurous intermediate knitters who are comfortable knitting in the round, reading charts, working stranded colorwork, and knitting socks.

Sample yarn: Wollmeise Twin, 80% superwash merino / 20% nylon, approx. 510 yards per 150g skein.
Sample colors: Orchidee, Limone, and Wasabi.
