Put a twist on the classic vanilla sock by marling two light fingering yarns. Mix and match sock components along the way to get your perfect pair. Construction involves working cuff-down, a German short row heel, and a basic wedge toe. The tight gauge creates a fabric somewhere between a fingering and DK weight, making these socks perfectly squishy and warm, while still fitting into all
your favorite shoes.

Sizes:
XS (S, M, L, XL)
to fit a foot circumference of
7 (8, 9, 10, 11) inches/ 18 (20.5, 23, 25.5, 28) cm
Choose the size that corresponds to your actual foot circumference. The pattern is written with the recommended 1”/2.5cm of negative ease built in.

Yarns:
Samples were knit with two strands of Loops & Threads Woolike (85% acrylic, 15% nylon, 678y/100g)
