Mirror, Mirror

At long last, I've formatted the pattern for the colorwork socks I knit in the spring. And here it is:

Size:
To fit an average woman’s foot

Finished Measurements:
Circumference: 8 inches (unstretched)
Length: adjustable

Materials:
Main Color (MC): about 300 yards fingering weight yarn

Sample knit from 2 colorways of Schaefer Yarn Heather (55% superwash merino, 30% silk, 15% nylon, 4 oz [113 g] / 400 yds [365 m])
Set of US size 1 [2.25 mm] double pointed needles
Tapestry needle

Note: You can make two pair of socks from two skeins of Heather by reversing MC and CC in the second pair.

(I'm calling them Mirror Socks because the second half of the chart is a mirror image of the first.)
