This sock pattern was designed for the Sock Knitters Anonymous group on Ravelry for the January 2022 Mystery Sock (MOCK) to fit the stranded colorwork challenge. Because it is a mystery, no photos are present in any of the clues. Please use a spoiler shield as the first photo of your Ravelry project page if knitting this along with the SKA MOCK knit-a-long.

Just a short walk from Notre Dame in Paris is a small royal chapel called Sainte-Chapelle. This chapel houses 15 stained glass windows, each an incredible 50 feet high. The patterning in this design is reminiscent of the kaleidoscope feel of the lead-work surrounding the stained glass in these windows.

Clues will be released any time on the following dates:
• January 1, 8, 15, and 22 (All clues have been released.)

Three Sizes
Small - 64 sts (Medium - 72 sts, Large - 80 sts)

Materials
Hazel Knits Artisan Sock or other fingering weight sock yarn (two solid or semi-solid colors with good contrast recommended)
• Color A (CA) - 50-66 grams / 170-220 yards - light solid, tonal, or lightly variegated recommended with strong contrast to CB and no overlapping colors
• Color B (CB) - 50-66 grams / 170-220 yards - dark, solid recommended
US size 1 (2.25mm) circular needles, or size for desired gauge.
• Many people go up a needle size for colorwork so if your colorwork knitting is tight, try size 1.5 (2.5mm) needles.
• This pattern is written for magic loop but can be adapted to your preferred needle type.
Locking/removable stitch markers & tapestry needle

Gauge
8 or 9 spi (stitches per inch) in 2-color stranded colorwork
• At 9 spi, the sock will be 7.1” (8”, 8.9”) in circumference.
• At 8 spi, the sock will be 8” (9”, 10”) in circumference.

You can adjust gauge for fit by using smaller/larger needles and thinner/thicker fingering weight yarn. For example, using thinner fingering weight yarn with smaller needles will give a smaller circumference than a heavier fingering with larger needles. Use the stitch count and your leg/foot measurements to determine what gauge you need for the socks to fit. Remember that stranded colorwork typically has less stretch than stockinette, so plan for little to no negative ease.
