Pixie Patch
Pixie Patch leverages an easy to memorize, four row repeat texture design with a mix of knit and purl stitches for a fun, low concentration knit. This pattern is barely a step above a vanilla sock in terms of effort with the rewards of an interesting design. There are two options for working the leg rows (half texture and full texture) as well as tips for switching colors at cuff, heel and toe. Work in one solid skein or multiple colors!

Supplies
Yarn: 463 yds, 100 grams
One standard sized skein of fingering weight yarn will make a pair of these socks as written.
Sample made in size Medium with:
Cozy Cauldron Squishy Sock (discontinued base), 437 yards, 85% Extrafine SW Merino, 15% Nylon + two 20g minis
Note: More or less yarn may be required if making a smaller size or larger than the smallest or largest size of this pattern. Variations to leg height and foot length will also impact yardage needed.
Needle(s): US1/2.25mm (or size needed to achieve gauge) in the type preferred for sock knitting (DPN, small circulars, magic loop). Pattern is written assuming the use of small circulars with the use of DPNs for picking up gusset stitches and working heel flap.
Notions: Stitch Markers (3), needle for weaving in ends, preferred row counting tool (if any)
Gauge: Approx 8 stitches per inch in stockinette
Finished Measurements
Sizes
Small (Medium, Large, X-Large, XX-Large).

Size Notes:

The number of rows worked for the leg and foot may need to be adjusted based on individual preferences and size needs.
