The Varsi socks are knitted from the cuff down to the toe. The instructions require some more advanced techniques, but it is possible to skip them. The chart indicates what can be skipped.
The most suitable yarn is high twist sock yarn, preferably single-colored and hand-dyed. This will make the lace stand out.
The instructions include detailed explanations of the techniques and links to videos. Knitting these socks is fun and quick. When knitting, I recommend carefully checking the number of stitches so that you don’t miss any cast-ons. Otherwise, the pattern will not match and you will have to unravel it. This is not exactly relaxing knitting and is intended for experienced knitters. If you have never knitted socks before, I recommend knitting at least one pair of basic socks before attempting this pattern.
The cast-on is 60 stitches.
The gauge is 30 stitches per 10 cm. I don’t give the height of the gauge, as it is best to try the socks on and adjust the length. If you want to knit for someone else, calculate the length based on your gauge.
