Garlands of purls and mini bobbles dot the top of these festive socks, perfect for wearing under your dress robes while dancing the night away, or just sitting by the fire enjoying a cup of tea.

Size:
This pattern includes two sizes: 64-stitch and 72-stitch, which will fit most adults. To adjust fit, go up or down a needle size based on your preferences.

Needles:
• I used 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
• I used 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.
• You will need slightly more yarn than an average sock.
• The (64-stitch) sample I made used:
• Teenybutton Studio, Soft Sock (fingering weight, 4 ply, 463 yards per 100g skein, 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon), in the colorway “Too Much Eggnog.”
• 370 yards, 80g, used.

Skills Needed:
• Being able to follow instructions to make a mini bobble
• Knitting and purling
• Twisted rib stitches
• Increasing and decreasing
• Eye of Partridge heel flap and gusset

Both charted and written instructions included for the decorative portion of the sock.
