This trio will be the perfect companions on leaf-crunching walks through piles of fallen leaves, or fireside feet warmers when you settle in with a mug of hot tea and a mystery book (or your latest WIP!). The colorwork chart is easy to memorize, making these socks an interesting, but soothing knit. If you’re newer to colorwork knitting, keep this important tip in mind to help you achieve well-fitting socks: It’s all about tension! Keep your tension nice and loose as you carry your strands. Pull too tight, and your fabric will pucker, resulting in a sock that’s too snug.

I routinely get 9 sts to the inch on colorwork. As a result, my socks often fit a little too tight! You should have no problem getting a well-fitting sock knitting your standard sock size, even if your gauge is looser than mine! **IMBER SHORTIES** ***MATERIALS*** • MC: Approximately 80 - 120 yards of fingering weight sock yarn (I used Filcolana Arwetta 954 “Light Gray”). • CC1: Approximately 60 - 90 yards of fingering weight sock yarn (I used Goosey Fibers sock “Smackeral of Wonder”). • CC2: Approximately 18 – 28 yards of fingering weight sock yarn (I used Qing Fibre sock “Nassau”). • US Size 1 (2.25 mm) knitting needles • US Size 2 (2.75 mm) knitting needles • A tapestry needle for weaving in ends ***SIZES*** (Measured around the circumference of the ball of your foot – the numbers below refer to your measurement, not the finished sock). **S** (7”/18 cm) **M** (8"/20 cm) **L** (9"/23 cm) **XL** (10"/25 cm) ***GAUGE*** 38 sts over 4” and 28 rows, knit in colorwork pattern in the rnd on US size 2 (2.75 mm) needles, and blocked. **IMBER STRIPES** ***MATERIALS*** • MC: Approximately 140 – 180 yards of fingering weight sock yarn (I used Madeline Tosh Euro Sock in “Paper”). • CC: Approximately 160 – 200 yards of fingering weight sock yarn (I used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool in “Ghost Ranch”).
