I made this as a men’s medium, sized for my husband. With smaller needles, it should work out for a woman’s medium. It is not that loose on my foot and I wear a European 40 shoe.
While I wrote out directions from beginning to end for knitting the socks, the charts could be used on any simple sock pattern if preferred. I used Schachenmayr Baby Smiles Merino Wool in light grey, red, and yellow. The majority of the sock is grey, with only elements in the other colors. 1 skein of yellow is plenty. 1-2 skeins of red are needed depending if you just want to use red for the duplicate stitches, or also for the toe and heel like I did. Honestly, the only reason there are stripes, is because I did not pay attention and continued with red for three rows after the heel flap. I made the toe stripe to match.
