AYOsocks
Are you looking for a quick and easy knitting project to use up scraps of sock yarn? Then the AYO socks are just the project for you! You can use as many colors as you like and choose them as you knit. It’s so satisfying to see the colorwork unfold!
These socks are also a great learning opportunity. You’ll learn which colors look great together and which ones dull each other down. You can experiment with different shades and saturations and learn how to choose colors with good contrast. Trust me - this knowledge will be extremely useful for all your future colorwork projects.
The pattern includes 6 sizes, so that you can make the AYO socks for all your loved ones. I hope you will love them just as much as I do! Happy knitting!
