Size:
This pattern includes eleven sizes, which will fit everyone from babies to adults. Tips are included for how to choose your size.

Needles:
• I use 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
• I use 32-inch-long circular needles for magic loop.

Gauge:
Approximately 8 stitches per inch.

Notions:
• Tapestry needle

Yarn:
• Any fingering weight (1: superfine) yarn, or sock yarn, that includes nylon will work for this pattern.
• Since yarn thickness varies in “sock yarn,” if you regularly use 4ply/460yard sock yarn, you may want to size down when using 2ply/400yard sock yarn.

Notes:
• This sock pattern is knit from the top down with an eye of partridge heel flap and gusset.
• The sock pattern is worked in the round unless otherwise noted.
• This pattern is written for magic loop, but can be adapted for DPNs by using stitch markers to indicate the end of each needle section.
• The directions for each size are written separately.
• A table of contents is included so you can find and/or print just the size you need.
• All sock sizes are a multiple of four.

Tips Included:
• Choosing a size
• Which needle to use
• How much yarn you will need
• Customizing leg length
• Using stitch patterns
• Using a contrast color
• Striping your socks
• Color blocking your socks
• Making a rolled cuff
• Making a traditional heel flap
• Making heavier weight socks

Written Tutorials Included:

• Weaving in the ends
