All Together Now Socks
THE ALL TOGETHER NOW SOCKS is the ultimate stash busting pattern! Using as little as 5g per color, this pattern works for stash, scraps, advents, or that perfect sock set, because it uses an overlapping 1x1 colorwork that let's you create the perfect palette! Written for 12 sizes, from baby to XXL, you'll be able to make anything work with this flexible pattern.
This pattern is worked in the round, from the top down. It begins with a ribbed cuff, then a section of “doodle” colorwork, then a short row heel using wrap and turn, before finishing with similar colorwork along the foot, and wedge shaping for the toe.

Socks are intended to fit with negative ease, however colorwork is also less stretchy than stockinette. Choose a size with a approx. 0.5 in [1.25 cm] negative ease based on actual foot circumference to ensure a snug finished fit.
The length of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customizable by working more or less of the colorwork chart, until reaching your desired length.
