Description
Sizes
X-Small (Small) Medium (Large) X-Large
The socks are designed to fit tightly on the foot and are 1-5 cm narrower than the foot they are designed to fit. This means that the socks are designed to fit feet with a circumference (see picture) of:
14.5-19.5 (16.5-20.5) 19-23 (21-25) 23.5-27.5 cm.
The length of the socks is adjustable. To fit well, they should ideally be 1-2 cm shorter than the length of the foot.
Gauge
36 sts and 45 rows = 10×10 cm in stockinette stitch after blocking Normally I would recommend working a test patch to make sure your knitting tension is correct.
But when knitting socks, you can use your toe as a test patch, just be prepared to start from the beginning again if the knitting strength deviates from the pattern.
Knitting needles and accessories
4 stitch markers
1 special lap marker
Darning needle
Knitting needles to knit with a small circumference, in one size to achieve knitting strength. For example circular knitting needles of at least 80 cm in length, double pointed needles, small 23 cm circular needle or CrazyTrios/FlexiFlops
When the specimen was knitted, knitting strength was achieved on needles 2.25 mm.
Keep in mind that I knit hard, so you may need to go down one or two sizes.
Yarn
Sock yarn 75% yarn/25% nylon with a stretch length of about 400 m per 100 g.
Primer 120 (135) 160 (180) 200 meters
Pattern color 100 (115) 135 (150) 170 meters
As a base color, a self-striping or multi-colored yarn will look great, and
solid colored yarn as a pattern color.
