~This pattern is part of a year-long club, and can only be purchased as part of that club until September 2020, when it will be available for individual sale. Thanks for understanding.~
Skill -level: Intermediate; Although the stitches are very basic, the construction might be a challenge for some. Careful pattern reading is a must.
Materials: 350-400 yards (320-365m) of sock yarn. I strongly recommend either a self-striping or using up a collection of coordinating remnants. The socks pictured are a size M and used approx 365 yds of Uneek Fingering in the color 3012 (a self-striping yarn that blends browns with blues, greens, and purples).
Needles: US Size 1 (2.25mm) sock needles; although I recommend using magic loop, the pattern is written for either magic loop or DPNs.
Tools: Scissors, tape measure, tapestry needle
Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rounds per inch/2.25cm, worked in stockinette stitch
Sizing: Small (Medium, Large, Extra-large) sizes measure approximately 8(9,10,11) inches or 20.3(22.8,25.4,28) cm around, leg height, ankle depth, and foot length are all adjustable to fit and preference.
Sizing note: the legs of these socks are very elastic. If in doubt or between sizes, size down.
