PATTERN NOTES
Use Magic Loop method or double-pointed needles. Sock is worked in the round from the cuff down, with peasant heel and Nordic-style (pointed) toe. Heel sts are knitted onto scrap yarn, then later picked up and worked separately.
To ensure motif is visible, choose colorways so that contrast is high between Colors A & B and between Colors C & D; and so that contrast is low between Colors A & C and between Colors B & D. Be aware of color dominance effects: For best results, always keep Colors B and D in the dominant (leftmost) position. When color is carried for more than 4 sts, be sure to ‘catch’ yarn every 3rd st to avoid long floats.
