These socks are designed for men at the same time the colors I used are very pastel and would rather be considered feminine, hence the name.

Size: men, adjustable foot length. This pattern can be also used for women with rather wide feet.
Material: Alize Superwash 100 (100 g = 420 m / 460 yards). You need about 200 m / 220 yards of main color (mint) and 100 m / 110 yards of contrasting colors (lavender and golden). So it total it’s about 400 m / 440 yards.
Gauge: 27 sts = 10 cm / 4’’
Needle size: 2.5 mm (US 1.5) double pointed needles (or other size for getting the right gauge)

Pattern notes:
K – Knit
P – Purl
ktbl - knit through back loop

This sock is knit toe up. Therefore you can adjust how long you want the socks to be.
