Description: This toe-up design features a fun four-round stitch pattern reminiscent of the traditional pretzel twist! And since this pair is knit with our merino yarn - these are definitely Soft Pretzels. The fancy flap style heel is integrated into a pair of tricked out gussets, and stitch counts are increased through the heel creation for an optimized fit. Instructions for this design are provided in text and charts.

About the Yarn:

Sock-aholic® II is dyed by hand at our brewery using a wonderfully soft 4-ply Luxury Sock Yarn made from 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon. Each 100g skein contains approximately 460 yards, and knits at a gauge of 7-9 stitches per inch using size 1-2 needles. This yarn has a smooth and refined appearance, and will help you create elegant fingering weight projects.

This yarn may be machine washed in cool water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Roll in a towel to remove excess water, and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
