The second item in the Pit Stop Collection is the Track Limit Socks in DK. This two-in-one pattern is designed to mimic the iconic red and white track limits of an F1 track, a perfect quick knit for any fan of Formula One.

These are worked cuff down following written instructions with accompanying charts. This pattern uses a heel flap and gusset and a modified wedge toe.

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.

Needles: 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
