I had played around with a sock idea for easy vertical stripes in self striping yarn. I got to work with Biscotte Yarn, and the pattern is available now. Stratum Socks
Purchasers of the knitting kit receive a skein of
Patricknits Collection – BIS-SOCK (85% merino sw, 15% nylon; 400m/ 435 yds; 100 g), . 1 skein – in the color of your choice
and the pattern as a pdf download.
The yarn was charming to work with, it was divided neatly into two skeins inside of the skeins for easy of sock set up.
As I’ve worn my prototype socks, I have appreciated the vertical stripes, but also found that I like the feel of the garter stitch on my upper ankle.
I hope you will try out this fun pattern and yarn!
