SCHEDULE
Clue 1 - July 9 
Clue 2 - July 16 
Clue 3 - July 23 
Clue 4 - July 30

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) 

Finished Measurements: 6.5 (7.5, 8.5, 9.5, 10.5)″ / 17 (19, 22, 24, 27)cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking. These are the measurements of the sock. 

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7.5 (8.5, 9.5, 10.5, 11.5)″ / 19 (22, 24, 27, 29)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference. Measure your foot around the center part of your foot. For example, if your actual foot circumference is 9.5″ / 24cm, then knit Size 3 of the sock. The sock should fit nice and snug on your foot with negative ease. 

The length of the foot is easily customizable.

Yarn: Fingering weight

Yardage: MC - 437yds / 400m (1 skein 100g) 
CC1 - 92yds / 84m (1 mini skein 20g) 
CC2 - 92yds / 84m (1 mini skein 20g) 
CC3 - 92yds / 84m (1 mini skein 20g) 

You will have leftovers of each color. These yarn amounts will produce a complete pair of socks, the right sock and the left sock. 

This design will also look amazing with 1 self-striping yarn instead of the 3 CC’s. If you use a yarn like Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy, then you can use one ball (100g) for all of the instructions that use a CC (CC1, CC2, & CC3). You will need about 279yds / 255m total for the CC. Get creative with color and customize your Color Popportunity Socks!

Wow is it hot here this evening. This is great weather for sitting inside and working with yarn 😉. I was worried about my gardens but we had crazy rain this afternoon. I think they’ll be okay for a few days.
