The Wunderwall Socks
Knit top down from cuff to toe, in three colours, using a two-stranded colourwork knitting technique, with a wedge toe and an afterthought heel, using Kitchener stitch to close the heel and toe.
Sizes
Available in 4 sizes:
Adult Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large
Measurements
Circumference approximate 18cm/7 inches, 19cm/7.5 inches, 21cm/8.25 inches, 24cm/9.5 inches
Sizing
To determine the most appropriate sock size to knit, measure the circumference of your foot at the widest part. It is always best to have 1-3cm negative ease when knitting socks to ensure a close fit. My foot circumference is 23cm, so I knit the size Adult M.

Shortie socks sample in colours natural white, teal and mustard.
Regular socks sample in colours natural white, azure blue and disco green.
