Stripease

Ever find yourself with a skein of self-striping yarn or patterned yarn that is too much by itself? Yeah, me too. Thats how these socks were created.

Stripease is a toe-up sock with jogless stripes, a gusset and partridge stitch heel flap. The jogless technique is slightly different from other jogless stripe methods and works well for narrow two-stripe repeats.

This pattern uses one ball of solid color and one of a self-striping or patterned yarn.

Size: Adult medium: 8.5 – 9 foot circumference. Foot and ankle length is easily adjustable. The un-stretched finished sock measures about 7.5 around the widest part of the foot and ankle. Designed with negative ease. Try it on as you go to adjust width and length as necessary. To size the pattern up or down, change to a smaller or larger needle – the yarn requirements are the same!
