Product Details
I love using slip stitch patterns with stripes and gradients, since you can get some really colorful results. I began this design with the cuff-down version, and then quickly realized that a toe-up version would work just as well—so the pattern has directions for both! If you work one of each, you can get a matching but subtly different pair of socks, one with the arrows pointing up and one with the arrows pointing down.
Pattern uses one solid color yarn and one stripe, or variagated, or long-gradient yarn. For best results, choose yarns that are highly contrasting. Any sock-weight yarn should work fine.
