The Merino socks are thin but very warm socks as for them I used a 100% natural merino wool 50g/ 415 m each. The socks are knitted in 2 strands held together on 3 mm needles. These socks are knitted using a chart for the element in front and back side.
The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1inch/ 2.5 cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot.
