These socks are knitted toe-up using Magic Loop. Since the pattern is worked across the entire front of the socks with twisted stitches, I would not recommend knitting them on DPNs.

Skills required: Magic Loop knitting in the round, Judy’s Magic Cast On, Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bindoff, wrap-and-turn short rows, twisted stitches, basic lacework.

Three options are given for circumference; S (17 cm) M (20 cm) and L (23 cm). The heel can be worked anywhere in the pattern and thus the socks can be knitted to fit any foot length.
