This sock is 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.

You can choose to only do the striping on the leg of the sock (pgs 5-6), which will generally use less than 10g of each CC (depending on size and length), or stripe the entire sock (pgs 3-4), which will use 20g or less of each CC (depending on size and length). You could also use more than 5 colors or only use 2 colors for the stripes, but yarn usage will differ from amounts given. Great project for mini skeins/advent knitting or a scrappy project.

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/heel/foot/toe.

Whole sock stripe sample knit size 1 with Sonder Yarn Co. Sonder Sock ‘Minis D’ and Les Garcon BFL Sock ‘Cardi’s Ochre’. Only stripes on the leg sample knit size 2 with Moonglow Yarn Co Sock Set ‘Candy Cane Lane’.
