Hot Rails Socks
IMPORTANT:
The technique used for this pattern is Double Knitting, BUT instead of using 2 strands(or 2 colors) simultaneously, I used one strand (1 color) of yarn per round/row. As a result, the written instructions of this pattern are specifically to this method. Although an experience knitter can convert this pattern to the standard Double Knitting method, please take this in consideration before buying this pattern.
Because it is a Double Knitting pattern, the socks will be reversible. The design on the interior is a mirror image of the exterior design.

XS: US 3-4.5 ----- EU 34 ----- UK 1.5 - 2
