NOTES
Socks are knitted in the round from the cuff down using double pointed needles (DPNs).
Sizing: Unfortunately, due to the amount of stitches inone repeat of the chart pattern, I could not
easily grade this pattern for more sizes. A solution to change the size of the pattern is to change the stitch gauge by using a different needle size. For a larger circumference, use a larger needle size than the recommended size, and for a smaller circumference use a smaller needle size.
