SIZES
These socks are intended for the whole family.
The pattern includes sizes Baby, Toddler, Child, Youth, (Woman small, Woman medium/Man small, Woman large/Man medium, Man large).

YARN
This pattern uses fingering weight yarn held double to create a DK weight sock. A minimum of 2 different colors are needed to create the marling.

Yarn amounts needed for the main color are 25, 50, 50, 50 (60, 60, 70, 80) grams of fingering weight yarn (230 yards / 210 meters per 50 grams).

For the alternating color(s) you will need 15, 20, 25, 25, (45, 50, 60, 65) grams of fingering weight yarn (230 yards / 210 meters per 50 grams).

NEEDLES
DPN or circular needles can be used for this pattern. Recommended needles are US 3 (3.25mm) for the cuff and US 5 (3.75mm) for the leg, heel, foot, and toe.

GAUGE
Gauge after blocking is 6 stitches x 8 rows = 1” / 2.5cm in stockinette with the larger needles.
If your needle size changes to meet gauge, I suggest using a size 0.5mm smaller to knit the cuff.
