Product Details
Mini Mania socks are knitted cuff down using mini skeins so that you can get the perfect 5-row stripe repeat. There is a cunning technique which means that although you don't carry yarns along the sock, you still only have six ends to weave in per sock and pretty much jogless stripe sequence!
Yarn: 6/7 x 20g of RiverKnits British Bluefaced Leicester mini skeins (400m/437yds per 100g). I used Shadow Jade (contrast cuffs/heels and toes), Earth Green, Shadow Orange, Earth Tomato, Shadow Crimson and Earth Yellow for the first pair. In the second pair, the Shadow Jade contrast was swapped out for Unicorn Violet. From the 7 x 20g mini skeins, I was able to knit a 64 st size 7 sock and a 60 st size 7 sock. Up to a 64 st sock, you only need 6 x mini skeins. If you are knitting a 68+ stitch sock, you will need 2 x 20g for your heel, toe and cuff colour. It is possible to get two pairs of socks from 7 x 20g minis.
