- Women’s Medium: 5” (12.5 cm) from top of cuff to top of heel, 9.5” (24 cm) from back of heel to end of toe
Yarn: Mountain Colors Bearfoot, 100% wool, 3.5 oz (100 g)/350 yds (320 m), Bitterroot Rainbow
Needles: Set of US 1 (2.25 mm) double-point needles or size you need to obtain correct gauge
Other Supplies: Three markers (one green, one red, one other color for end of round)
