Happy 3rd Anniversary, Loopy!

Why the name? Well… For all those people out there who doubt the power of sock yarn, I say Poppycock!”

Designed to be knit top down with three sizes to choose from, the flame-like pattern flickers down the ankle and onto the top of your foot.

Women’s small (medium, large). Leg circumference measures approximately 6.25 (7.75, 9.25)” unstretched. Sample shown in size medium.

Pattern Clarification: In order to have the socks truly mirror each other, for the right sock, start the instep chart at row 1 for all sizes. You will not work the last 14 stitches of the chart for the small size or the last 7 stitches of the chart for the medium size. For the left sock, you can start the smallest size on row 49, the medium size on row 25, and the largest size on row 1. (You can also just begin on row 1 for all sizes and skip the first 14 stitches of the chart for the smallest size or the first 7 stitches of the chart for the medium size.)
