Pattern Notes:
-You can double-up your fingering weight yarn to knit the DK version if you have trouble locating a DK sock set or use DK leftovers.
-When knitting or purling previously wrapped stitches, be sure to lift the wrap onto the needle and knit it together with the wrapped stitch. Use this method on every wrapped stitch you encounter.

Required Skills:
w&t - Knit the required number of stitches, bring yarn to front between needles, slip the next stitch to the right needle, bring the yarn to the back, return the slipped stitch to the left needle and turn the work to the other side—one stitch has been wrapped and you are ready to knit the next stitch.
