Rainy day socks (Fingering)

Rainy day socks are a perfect match to enjoy a hot cup of tea whilst listening to rain hit the roof. Cute sock pattern for spring time or to have a splash of colour for autumn. 

This pattern uses techniques such as stranded knitting, yarn dominance, duplicate stitch and hourglass heel. Challenging parts in this pattern include long strands at the start of charts and using 3 to 4 different yarns whilst working stranded knitting. If you feel working on multiple yarns is too challenging, you can use duplicate stitching to fill in the parts afterwards.
