’’This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes’ (The Matrix, 1998)
A great introduction to colour work, try knitting this using the double handed technique. The afterthought heel can be substituted for a short row heel.

Suggested yarns:
Sample shown used Truly Hooked Standard sock in Black and Radioactive
Any sock yarn is suitable for this pattern. Choose wool fibres for stetch and comfort. I deally your yarn should also include nylon for strenght and durabilty. Avoid slippy fibres and select solid or tonal colours so the colourwork pattern shows up. Take a black and white photograph of your chosen yarns, this will show if the contrast is stromg enough between them.
Your fabric should be firm,with a little give. Socks should fell 'bandage tight' when first put on, and will relax with wear, like your favourite pair of jeans.
