This design features a twisted stitch ribbing and is worked seamlessly in the round. I prefer to use short circular
needles, but you can substitute these for DPNs or a long circular to use the magic loop method (you will need these for closing the end and creating the thumb anyway).

The colour options really are endless! I normally don’t like to use anything except solids for colourwork as I feel you lose the design, but with the sections being so large and clear, this isn’t a problem
(though I would recommend using variegated for only one of the yarns).

I really hope you enjoy making this pattern as much as I loved writing it!
