The DK weight Last Lap Socks are the first item in the Pit Stop Collection.
The perfect present for any motorsport fans from F1 to NASCAR to Sim Racing.

Details: This is a very simple and quick sock pattern worked top down with a heel flap and gusset. It requires 2 colours that will be knit in a checkered pattern, mimicking the finishing line flag in a race, hence the name. There are written instructions with accompanying charts for the colourwork.

Sizes: 1=40sts, 2=48sts, 3=56sts
This equates to a foot/ankle measurement of 7.3(8.7)10.1 inches. I recommend picking a size that is roughly 0-15% smaller than your own measurements.

Yarn:
These socks require 2 colours of DK yarn. You’re invited to play around with the yarn choice to create your own unique socks.

Approx 60g total (30g of each colour)
Note: Adjustments to length of leg or foot will vary the quantity of contrast colours needed.

Needle: 3mm& 3.25mm (or needles that obtain gauge)

Gauge: 22sts in 4 inches on 3.25mm in Chart A after blocking

Difficulty Level: Confident beginners and above
