The elasticity of the ribbing makes for a perfect fit everytime - but, sometimes you just want something a bit more interesting to knit (and wear)! The Mondim socks give comfort of a ribbed sock while throwing in a bit of fun with some contrasting color and lace. Enjoy!* **DETAILS** These socks are knit from the toe up, starting with a Turkish Cast On. The directions are for Magic Loop, but are easily adapted to DPNs. A Fleegle Heel ensures a beautiful fit with no holes! **SIZES** 1 (2) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** 7 (8)”/18 (20.5) cm unstretched foot circumference Recommended fit is 1.5”/4 cm of negative ease in circumference (when measured at the widest part of the foot). **YARN REQUIREMENTS** Fingering weight Main Color - 100 g/421 yd/385 m (Amount will vary depending on foot length.)
