Four colours of yarn required, directly from the pattern instructions:
- 3 oz. Main colour B
- 1/2 oz. Contrast colour A
- 1/4 oz. Contrast colour C
- 1/4 oz. Contrast colour D
Size 14 dpns: this is the old UK/Canadian size system. I believe it translates as 2.0 mm, but sources are not consistent.
Sock leg length to bottom of heel = 13 1/2 inches.
modular intarsia method unique to Beehive socks where main colour sections are decreased down to 0 sts then next colour is picked up along edges. 2nd colour is worked with increases and decreases then next colour is picked up along edges and so on.
