This is a DK weight version on my Shermer Socks, based off of the 5 characters from The Breakfast Club. You have a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, princess and a criminal; all joined together through their experience at Shermer High School Saturday detention.

This sock is knit top down with a shadow wrap heel and a wedge toe. You can substitute another heel and toe if you would like, but the MC yarn amounts may change. It is written for magic loop, with N1 being the front of the leg/foot/toe and N2 being the back of the leg/heels/foot/toe. At the color changes their are some special rounds to make this sock a lot of fun to knit. It is great for mini skeins or leftover DK sock yarn.

Small stripes sample knit size 3 with MC from Legacy Fiber Artz DK ‘Espresso Beans’ 30g and 10 pack of 20g mini skeins from Yarn Cafe Creations in the DK ‘Breakfast Club’ 6-9g each color. The color block version was size 3 with the DK weight sock set from Moonglow Yarn Co ‘Mountain Meadow’ 30g MC and 10-11g from each mini.
