Yarn
1 Lattes & Llamas Untitled Goose Socks Kit or a comparable sock weight yarn in three colorways.

Sample Size 2 used “Moiraine” as Color A, “Baskerville” as Color B, and “Plastic Pumpkins” as Color C on Lattes & Llamas Vacation Yarn (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; 463yds / 423m – 100g) featured in the Untitled Goose Socks Kit.

Color A: 208(232, 255, 283) yds / 190(207, 245, 262)m - 45(50, 55, 61) g
Color B: 60(70, 79, 88) yds / 55(64, 72, 80)m - 13(15, 17, 19) g
Color C: 83(93, 102, 116) yds / 76(85, 93, 106)m - 18(20, 22, 25) g

Note that yardage is estimated, includes the yardage required for knitting the swatch, and may vary depending on yarn used, gauge variations, or modifications.

When choosing your yarn, make sure Color A contrasts strongly with Color B. We recommend taking a photograph of the yarns together and then change it to black and white to see if they contrast strongly enough.

Needles
US 1.5 / 2.5 mm and US 2.5 / 3.0 mm 40” circular needles to work in Magic Loop or size needed to obtain gauge.

40” circular needles are used to work in magic loop, which is my preferred method of knitting socks. However, they can be worked on DPNs or 2 circular needles if preferred.

Gauge
32 sts and 40 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stranded colorwork, knit in the round with larger sized needles and blocked.

Instructions for a functional gauge swatch in the form of a coffee cozy are included in the pattern.

Sizing
Size 1 (2, 3, 4) has a 7 (8, 9, 10)” / 17.75 (20.25, 22.75, 25.5) cm foot circumference, unstretched.

Leg length from to Cuff to Start of Heel: 5.5” / 14 cm

Foot Length: Adjustable
