What gift can be more heartwarming than the one someone spent time and effort to create? So why not knit these socks for someone you love: a sweetheart, a friend, or maybe yourself?

One size. Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 24 cm/9.4”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8.3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles. You can also make the socks longer or shorter by adding or removing rows before the toes.

Yarn:
Used in sample:
MC: Arwetta 370 (Flamingo)
CC1: Arwetta 201 (Deep Mahogany)
CC2: Rainbow 4-ply Sock Wool 36 (Bright Pink)
CC3: Arwetta 138 (Geranium Red)
CC4: Sirdar Country Classic 4-ply 950 (White)

Approximate weight needed (if sticking to gauge):
MC: 60 g
CC1: 10-15 g
CC2: 10-15 g
CC3: 10-15 g
CC4: 10-15 g

(One ball of yarn: 100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards). Or any other yarn of the same weight, pre­ferably a woolmix for socks, to make them more durable.
