SSAL 2026 - Chameleonic Socks by Stephen West

Join the Westknits Surprise Sock Along 2026 with the Chameleonic Socks, a mystery design featuring a self-striping yarn paired with a contrasting solid color.

As you knit, the color changes from the self-striping yarn gradually appear, creating a dynamic effect inspired by a chameleon’s camouflage. Depending on the contrast you choose, the result can be subtle or bursting with color.

This project features an original construction that will introduce you to a new way of knitting socks, while keeping the joy of surprise until the final reveal.
