Amount of yarn – around 10g/40 meters.
I used DK yarn Drops Lima in Green (7810), Red (3609), and White (0100).
You could use any yarn weight and needle size for this project, but it will affect the sock’s finished size.

Needles

4 mm (US 6) circular needles or double-pointed needles.
Use sock circulars or use the magic loop method with a longer cable.
