Sometimes, a self-stripping yarn deserves more than being turned into basic socks, and it’s always a bit hard to find when you want some entertainment along some mindless and
peaceful stockinette.

I discovered how to make intarsia in the round thanks to Tiina Kuu and I encourage you to check her patterns out once you’re done with this one!
In the meantime, enjoy your knitting!

Information
This is a top-down sock pattern that includes an intarsia lace panel knitted in the round, a heel flap and gusset shaping. Every step is described for the Magic Loop techniques.
If you’re a knitter used to knit two socks at a time, please note that due to the intarsia panel on the leg and top of the foot, it is strongly advised to knit one sock at a time, at least for those sections!
