Sakura Socks are a pair of socks with a beautiful lace pattern that looks like branches with leaves. Cute all year
round and can be knitted in both hand-dyed and solid-colored sock yarn.

Sakura Socks are knitted top down on double pointed needles or circular needles with magic loop. Start with a rib
edge, which can be knitted with regular cast-ons or Italian cast-ons.

The Sakura pattern is knitted on the entire round
on the shaft and on the top of the sock’s foot, so the underside is knitted in stockinette.

SIZES
1 (2) 3
The leg’s circumference is about 18-20 (20-22) 22-24 cm, but can be stretched more

You find your size by choosing the circumference that best fits you, and it is recommended to
choose a size that is a bit snug at the beginning, since the sock will stretch with use.

NEEDLES
2,5 mm double pointed needles (DPN’s)
