This sock is a quick knit and a lot of fun! Use yellow and black with a striped foot for a Bee look, or use a variegated yarn for the main color with a solid foot, for a more sophisticated look.

Features:

  • Top Down Construction
  • Knit-to-Fit instructions
  • Slip Stitch Patterning, one color per row
  • LynnH No-Purl Heel
  • Wedge Toe

Because all the patterns are created using slipped stitches rather than fair-isle stranding, this pattern can easily be completed in two days. I started my first adult-sized sock at 8pm one day and finished it at 5:30pm the next, with plenty of other tasks besides knitting during that period of time.

I’ve made the pattern easy to adjust to fit any size foot. The example given is for approximately a woman’s medium size.
