Ever True Socks

When I was invited to design a colorful sock pattern to benefit Down Syndrome International, I knew stranded colorwork was the way to go. People with Down syndrome have a third copy of the 21stchromosome, so I settled on a triangular motif. A 5-color mini-skein set was the perfect palette to play with! 

Colorwork socks do not stretch well, so choose a size that has 0 ease, which means it matches your foot/leg circumference.

S: 7.4”/18.8 cm circumference

M: 8.25”/20.3 cm circumference

L: 9.2”/23.4 cm circumference

This is a stranded colorwork sock, which does NOT stretch well! Choose a size with 0 ease (meaning the sock circumference matches your actual foot circumference).

Testers must knit ONE sock before the end of the test.

Testers will be required to create pattern page, linked to the project page. The pattern page must contain a photograph of the finished item, blocked, in natural light, preferably modeled on a human foot or sock blockers.

Testers will be required to fill out a survey at the end of the test with exact yardage used and information about gauge and yarn.

Please note: I work a full-time job and so will only be able to check in the chat threads twice a day, in the mornings and evenings.

Testers who complete all the requirements will receive credit in the pattern as a tester. a final copy of the pattern in their Ravelry library, and tester's choice of another one of my self-published patterns for free.

The designer has created the following milestones, in order to keep track of progress during the test knit. By marking off each milestone as you complete it, you can easily keep the designer up to date with your progress.
