Riddles in the Dark
Skill-Level: Intermediate, due to cables, charts, and sock construction
Materials: 350-400 yards or 320-365 meters of fingering weight yarn. The socks pictured are a size Medium and used 375 yards of Hedgehog Fibres Sock yarn in the color Wish.
Needles: US1(2.25mm) sock needles; pattern is written for both DPNs and Magic Loop
Tools: Cable needle, if necessary; tape measure; scissors; tapestry needle
Gauge: 32 stitches & 36 rounds in stockinette stitch across 4 inches or 10 cm
Sizing: Small (Medium, Large, Extra-large) socks measure approximately 7(8,9,10) inches or 17.75(20.3, 22.85, 25.5) cm in diameter, leg height, ankle depth, and foot length are all adjustable to fit and preference.
Note: Due to the cables and decreases, the socks are not elastic. I would recommend going up in size or working a shorter leg to allow for stretch.
