Random Rainbow Trekking Socks

These socks were made using Trekking XXL sock yarn color 100. I usually like my socks to match...but it was impossible with this yarn! I do, however, like the way the colors change through the four plies creating unpredictable stripes. They have a 76 stitch CO picot edge, size US1/2.25mm DPNs, Welsh heels, and Star Toe of 4 points.

These socks were made by following the pattern for "A Roll in the Hay" by Gina House from the book "The Joy of Sox" by Linda Kopp. I made them with Mini Mochi sock yarn color 104 Fern Rainbow. Although this yarn is ridiculously soft and squishy, I am not sure I would buy it again. There were too many breaks in the yarn to make matching socks.
