The Socks - Take 5 work well in a superwash wool blend.
The Take 5 ribbing is fun work, and the socks can be knit in just a few days making them the perfect gift or accessory. This may be considered an intermediate level pattern because knowledge of sock (and stitch) construction is helpful.

Finished size: about 7” flat, stretch 10”circumference, leg height about 10”
Gauge: 8 stitches = 1”
Materials:
Yarn: MC superwash wool blend in fingering weight,
CC cotton/elastic blend, or CC superwash wool blend in fingering weight, and 2 yds of waste yarn in a different color

The directions are written for adult size (small, medium, large) in parentheses, and working with 2 circular needles. The project used one hank of Knit Picks and one skein of Cascade Yarns wound into 2, really 4 balls, and 4 circular needles. Once the legs were completed, the work was moved to 2 circular needles to work the feet, toes, and heels.
