These ankle socks are perfect for when you really want a certain colorway of Knit Picks Felici yarn but only manage to snag a single ball. They are meant to not match exactly, so you don’t have to worry about finding the color repeats.
Worked toe-up, this pattern is also perfect for personalizing to your exact size. Just try it on as you go! Instructions for tweaking the pattern to fit your foot length are given in the instep section. Just be warned that you might not be able to go much longer than the original pattern without adding in a second ball of yarn because there is very little left over at the end.
To Knit these socks two at a time with the stripe pattern going the same way, I split the ball into two cakes and worked each sock from its own cake. If you are wanting to work them two at a time and don’t care about the stripe pattern going the same way, you can work from both ends.
