Gauge: 6.25 - 6.5 sts/inch (25 � 27 st/10 cm) over St st with larger needles.

Inspiration: Merino 5 is a new worsted weight merino yarn spun from super-soft Australian Merino wool with the bonus of being machine washable! This yarn is fun to knit – fast & enjoyable & sooo soft!

Details: The design is an interesting diagonal stitch which is not hard to learn but increases your knitting pleasure. There is a small baby cable at the center back leg for extra fun & ease in design orientation.

The pattern can, if you choose, be carried down the foot to the toe. Because the size changes are made by changing the number of sts in the repeat, you will want to be sure to highlight the repeat for your desired size. The Merino-5 yarn is very stretchy, so there is some flexibility in the sizes.
