Promotion: If you buy both - the Slanty Wave Socks and the Slanty Stripe Socks - you’ll get an automatic discount of 30%!

This is a leftie-friendly knitting pattern.

The Slanty Wave Socks are all over colorwork socks that have you remember their pattern repeat quickly. No need to look at the chart all the time.

They are the showstopper turning your classic jeans, tshirt and sneaker combination into something more. Also perfect for
spicing up loafers.

These socks look good in a variety of color combinations. Head to the projects or my instagram (@chaosintheworks) to see what color combinations the test knitters chose.

Pattern Details

The socks are knit top down on 2.25 mm (US 1) needles and include a shadow wrap heel The colorwork pattern is provided as a chart.

When buying this pattern, you will receive two separate PDFs. One includes the instructions for left-handed knitters, the other the right-handed instructions. Both include links to technique videos for support.

The pattern is suitable for both dpns/sock needles and circular needles (Magic Loop method).

The MC meterage/yardage is not only based on the size you chose, but also depends on your foot length, and whether you knit the leg longer/shorter.

Gauge
(in the round, afer blocking)
34 sts x 46 rnds = 10 cm / 4 inches in stockinette
34 sts x 32 rnds = 10 cm / 4 inches in colorwork pattern

Personally, I am not the biggest fan of knitting a gauge swatch in the round, so I usually just start knitting the sock pattern for a few rows to see if it matches the given gauge.
