The #SandySocks are worked in the round using basic knitting techniques: stockinette, ribbing, german short rows, and decreases.
The cuff has a 1:1 ribbing, the heel is shaped using german short rows and the toe is round-shaped.

Note on sizing: the final sizes mentioned above unstretched measurements, meaning that when you stretch the piece it will reach a bigger (+3cm) circumference, but remember that they need to have an unstretched ease of -4cm, otherwise they will fall off your calf/ankle. The length is variable, and can be changed in every part of the pattern where the ^ symbol is found.

If you cannot measure the length and width of the receiver’s feet, in the pattern there are standard measurements to use as a guide.
