Supplies List
Fingering or Light Fingering Yarn: The Main Color I used is Malabrigo Sock, colorway Stonechat. The Contrast Color is Cloudborn Fibers Highland Superwash Sock Twist, colorway Espresso. If you are knitting a Medium or higher, you might require more than 100g MC /50g CC skein in both the MC and CC. This is reflected below.

Note: The Main Color should have some contrast with the Contrast Colors.

Estimated MC: 275 yards -400 yards; 250m - 370m

Estimated CC: 110-210g; 100m - 190m

Needles: US00/1.75mm, 32” magic
loop (or needles of your choice)

Note: It is very important to swatch to determine the needle size necessary to obtain gauge.

Notions: Stitch Markers (2 unique markers), Progress Keepers (x2), Scissors, a Tapestry Needle, an Elastic Band of similar color to contrast yarn, Sewing Needle and Thread of similar color to elastic.

Note: The sizing for the elastic band you will need to have needs to cover the circumference of your leg around the knee plus 4”/10cm extra.
