METRES/YARDAGE
For shade A: 220m/240yds.
For shade B: approx. 68m/74yds.

NEEDLES
Set of four double pointed 3.25mm knitting needles.
Set of four double pointed 3.75mm knitting needles.

TENSION/GAUGE
20 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm square over stocking stitch when using 3.75mm needles.

MEASUREMENTS
To fit UK size 5 (or desired foot length as highlighted in the pattern. If you are knitting the foot length longer than size 6 then you will need a 3rd ball of shade A).

MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
I named this pattern Tra because it is the Irish for beach and the ridges on the sock remind me of the ridges the sea makes on the beach as it laps the shore. The Mohair Tweed is a gorgeous yarn to knit with, it has colours that twinkle at you as you knit each stitch.
