Recommended needles: Double-pointed needles 3 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4 mm, or circular needles 3 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4 mm (80 cm) if you prefer using the Magic Loop technique.
Gauge: 22 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm needles, and in pattern stitch on 4 mm needles.
The Ushu socks are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles from the cuff down to the toe. If you prefer the Magic Loop technique, you can use a circular needle. The socks feature a double cuff, first knitted in stockinette stitch and then in pattern stitch.
The heel is shaped using increases and short rows, where I have used the GSR (German Short Rows) technique. The toe decreases are made on the sides and then sewn together at the end using the Kitchener stitch.
