Materials

One skein of fingering sock yarn (400-459 yards)(100 grams)

Size 1 (2.25mm) circular knitting needles, 40” long if doing Two At A Time, Magic Loop, or size 1 needles of your choice.

Optional, Elastic- If you use cotton, or cotton blend socks, you may need to add elastic to the tops. Cotton tends to stretch some and not spring back.
