The Twilight Star Socks are designed to keep you cosy this season whilst you venture out on wintery walks. The nights are drawing in, and on clear nights you can wander under a blanket of twinkling stars, with matching stars on your feet. The motif is created with a textured star stitch on each stripe, so you can enjoy your stars twinkling on as many colours as you wish!

Yarn:
The pattern uses approximately 350yds/320m of fingering weight yarn in total. You can use as many different contrast colours as you like to create the socks, and each stripe will use around 2g of yarn across both socks.

The sample shown uses 1 x 100g skein and 6 x 10g mini skeins of fingering weight yarn comprising the Winter Whisper collection from Moonglow Yarn Co (75% Merino, 25% nylon) (463yds/423m per 100g).

Recommended Needle Size:
2.5mm (US Size 1.5) or appropriate size to obtain gauge. I went up one needle size from my usual sock needle as the star stitch pattern can make the fabric a slightly tighter fit. The pattern is written for the magic loop method, but can easily be adapted for using DPNs.

Gauge:
32 sts / 42 rows = 4 inches (10cm) in stockinette stitch.

Sizes:
Small (Medium, Large). Length is customisable.
Finished Measurements:
Small – 56 stitches (7 inch circumference)
Medium – 64 stitches (8 inch circumference)
Large – 72 stiches (9 inch circumference)
