Plaid About You
These socks are your chance to stand up and show support for a great cause! Every year on March 21, people all over the world gather to celebrate World Down Syndrome day. The ‘Lots of Socks’ initiative was started as a fun way to help create support and awareness all over the world, encouraging people to wear brightly colored and unique socks. These socks use the Down syndrome colors of blue and yellow, reversed on each sock to create a mismatched pair just perfect for showcasing on World Down Syndrome Day! Using only one color at a time, slipped stitches create a dimensional plaid effect down the leg of the sock. Brightly colored and unique, this design will be appropriate for sock knitters of all skill levels and create attention for a very worthy cause. Be sure to use the #lotsofsocks hashtag when posting online!
