One of 3 Harry Potter inspired patterns for July 2007.

There seems to be a lot of trouble with the gauge on these socks… I can get gauge on US 1 with just about most fingering weight yarns. Some of the thinner ones might even mean going down to a US 0. This might seem like it’s going to be small, but the lace has a great deal of give when the YO’s are dropped.

The Gloss sample was knit on US 0, and the pink tencel on US 1.

I suggest you find your gauge in stockinette and use that needle to cast on and work the rib, then work the rest of the foot one size smaller.
