I'm an eternal fan of colorful yarns and stripes, but I can't STAND to knit plain socks. Fiesta socks have just enough pizazz to bring out the best in my wildest yarns, while still being easy and fun to knit. The stitches will highlight both stripes and variegated yarns. The ribbed design and series of increases at the heel allow this biasing chevron pattern to stretch and fit comfortably despite the twists and turns it puts your yarn through. Add a little fun to your knitting and work through that stash of striping yarn you can't help but snatch off the shelves! ¡Viva el color!
