Kaleidoscope Socks

"Gorgeous, fair isle socks with colours reversed on second sock," notes Allis. "These socks are worked from the top down and feature a traditional Norwegian pattern." The charts are large and clear, with two high-contast colours; the 'pinstripe' on the sole is not charted, but then doesn't need to be. Allis cleverly makes both heel and toe perfectly plain solids, since if they do need to be replaced, it's much easier to do that way. Bonus: a pattern for matching fingerless mittens is available here.
