The Alexei Socks are knitted with fingering weight sock yarn on 2.5mm needles (US1.5).
This pattern is written as either a toe up or cuff down construction, with a classic 3x1 rib, a braided cable accent, and a short row heel.

SIZES (APPROX), MEASURED AROUND MID-FOOT

• Medium 8”/20.25cm unstretched, 10”/25.5cm stretched
• Large 9”/22.75cm unstretched, 11”/28cm stretched

MATERIALS
100g 2-ply sock yarn. Any yarn that yields the correct gauge should be suitable.
My sample uses Farmer’s Daughter Fibers Rocky Mountain Purls in the shade Rooted Earth.

GAUGE
32 sts x 48 rows per 4” (10 cm) square, measured over stockinette stitch in the round.

A note on the gauge: If you are a tight knitter, or you have a tighter gauge, size up. This pattern is designed to adapt to your preferred sock gauge.

NEEDLES AND NOTIONS
• 2.5mm/US 1.5 circular needle (or whatever size is necessary to achieve gauge), 32”/80cm
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
