In deep winter, when the world outside is looking rather gray, and light is scarce and fleeting, a pair of warm, wool socks bursting with colors and patterns is pure medicine - a prescription for Lykke! These socks are deceptively simple. You never knit with more than two colors at once, and the simple 2, 4, or 8-stitch repeating charts are easy to follow. I’ve included instructions to knit the original multi-color socks using all fourteen charts, as well as recipe cards to knit a few more variations. It’s quite easy to take the original sock pattern and create your own magic by combining the charts in whichever ways you please! Use two colors or twenty - it’s entirely up to you. I’ve included a handy reference sheet for you to write out the yarns and colors you are using, along with the order of the charts you prefer. I’ve also included a picture tutorial for working an Afterthought Heel. Glad Strikning! **SIZES** (Measured around the circumference of the ball of your foot. The numbers below refer to this measurement, not the size of the finished sock). **S** (7”/18cm) **M** (8"/20cm) **L** (9"/23cm) **XL** (10"/25cm) **2X** (11” / 28cm) **GAUGE** 36 sts and 4”/10cm over over 28 rows, knit with US Size 2 (2.75mm) needles in the rnd, in colorwork pattern, and blocked. **MATERIALS** *MULTI-COLOR SOCKS* Approximately **306 (360, 412, 468, 508) yards / 280 (329, 376, 428, 465) meters** TOTAL of fingering weight yarn.
