I’m relieved I got my knitting mojo back and was able to finish my clown socks this weekend. Overall, I am thrilled with the end result.
Yarn: Opal Feelings’ shade 1705 for the leg and foot and Opal Uni’s shade 1413 for cuff, heel and toe.
Why I like this yarn: 1. The colors are bright and happy and the coordination is awesome. 2. The yarn is self striping and in big bands. Yep I hate weaving in those loose ends. 3. Provides lots of yardage.
Pattern: My own. The cuff is a 2×2 rib, the leg and foot stockinette, Folk Sock’s provided the Dutch Heel and Star Toe. Since I wanted to utilize as much of the yarn possible and have a longer leg, I CO 96 stitches (because of my ginormous calves 
)and decreased 8 stitches at the beginning of every band’s color change until 68 remained.
Needles: Size 0US 5 set dpn’s
Even though I did make these with a longer leg, there is plenty of yarn left over for a small pair of socks. DD has been asking me since I first started these if they were for her. Well I guess she’ll get her socks after all and they’ll actually fit her right. 
Very pretty! I would have never guessed that was an Opal color.
Those are great! They are very happy. (Only a knitter would understand the concept of happy socks….)
Very colorful! I really like them.
Those are so bright and cheery! I love them! Great job!
Loks like an excellent fit. When you say “dec 8 sts” is that evenly distributed across the row or ??
Wow, that is some amazing yardage that you have so much left over! Awesome, awesome socks. I love the colors.
One decrease was done at the beginning of each needle and at the end of each needle so each needle had two decreases. Since I was using a set of 5 dpn’s, there were a total of 8 decreases per round.
Lovely socks – I really like the colourway.
these are so cute! I love the colors!
