By Chance Socks
The By Chance socks are a fun top-down sock pattern. The socks can be fraternal or matching, and you use a dice to determine, which stitch pattern to work.
No two socks are the same! Worked in 2 colours of 4ply/fingering weight sock yarn. If you don’t have a dice, then just google “roll a dice” instead.
YARN
Coopknits Socks Yeah (50g; 231yds [212m]; 75% merino, 25% nylon) 4ply/fingering;
1[1,1,1] hanks, colour 116 Ruby (MC) – pink in sample
1[1,1,1] hanks, colour 120 Azurite (CC) – blue in sample
As the yarn choice can vary because of chance, you could possibly make a version where you run out of one colour – especially in the larger 2 sizes. If this happens, either pick the pattern yourself (without the roll of the dice) or buy an extra skein.

A pair of toe-up socks worked in the round using 4 ply/fingering weight sock yarn. The stitch pattern is a simple garter stitch and slip stitch design worked over 4 rows, so easy to memorise.
Honey Lane is a fun honeycomb-themed pair of socks. The socks are worked as mirror images, so when you put your feet together you create a honeycomb. Worked from the top down in 4ply / fingering weight yarn.
Kilter Bay is an asymmetrical pair of socks with a simple but fun pattern down one side of each sock. Worked from the top down using fingering / 4ply weight yarn featuring a short row heel with a mini heel flap for improved fit.
