Lucky Stripe Socks

| Lucky Stripe Socks 56 stitches - knit on size 2 circular needles |
I didn't use the actual Lucky Stripe Socks pattern: I used my old stand-by and tossed the die to determine the number of rows to knit with each yarn. Even though one of the skeins was already a self-striping yarn, the stripes were clearly visible. Someday, I'll knit the socks with two solid or semi-solid yarns.
These Lucky Stripes Socks are going to be as much fun to wear as they were to knit.
Not a sock knitter? This method of striping can also be used for hats, sweaters, etc. I recommend grabbing a die to "shake up" your knitting. It's fun and unpredictable.
I've used that method before on hats. It really is fun and the stripes always turn out perfectly random and lovely.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Considering they are *random* they look remarkably alike.
ReplyDeleteI love them Nancy. i will have to try that method. ROlling the dice make them sooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't knit, but if I did, I would knit socks like this all the time! Hmmm...why don't I knit? :)
ReplyDeleteThey're very cute and happy. I need to knit some socks again.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute....
ReplyDeleteThose are darling! I just put them in my queued folder on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteThe socks are wonderful!! I love the way the tops fold down. How long are the tops? I always seem to stop a little too short of fold-over perfection!
ReplyDeleteAnother bright and flashy pair of socks, Nancy? You've really turned a corner on sock yarns!! These are very cute! I think you'll have fun wearing them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea! I love the way your socks look.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you ever want to knit with a solid colored yarn when you have get wonderful stripes like that? You always get the striping just right.
ReplyDeletefun - a die. Who woulda thunk it? Those socks are beautiful. I need to play with the self striping yarns more - very inspiring. g
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Nice socks, too.
