Celebrate the mysteries of the universe with this fun colorwork sock featuring a crescent moon in a star-studded sky. This sock is constructed from the toe-up with a forethought heel and a stretchy bind off. Customize the length to make a perfect fitting ankle or mid-length sock!

MATERIALS

• Wool/nylon blend fingering weight sock yarn
• Contrasting scrap yarn for forethought heel
• Size 1 double pointed needles for toe-up cast on
• Size 1 circular needles
• Size 2 or 3 circular needles for colorwork. Choose the needle size which will best meet gauge. (I sized up to size 3, but am generally a tight knitter. If you are a looser knitter size 2 may be a better fit).
• Stitch markers (1 BOR, 3 contrasting)
• Tapestry needle

GAUGE
8sts/8rows = 1 inch in the round on size 2/3 circular needles
