This stitch uses two or more colours to create blocks of colour. You can get very different results by swapping your colours around so think carefully about how you want your finished socks to look before deciding which yarns to use for A, B and C!
I have included instructions for regular length socks, as well as shorties with 3 different cuff styles to further increase the possibilities.
The regular length socks start with a folded picot edge cuff.
The shorties feature a roll top or a folded cuff, but any of these options can be substituted with a regular 2x2 rib.
Joining and carrying the yarn takes a bit of practice to make it neat, but the result is a striking looking sock.
