You may need more or less yarn depending on foot length. For the best fit, work socks 1cm / ½" shorter than actual foot length. **Gauge:** 34 sts & 40 rounds = 10cm / 4" in St st and stranded colourwork chart on 2.25mm needles after blocking. **Needles:** 2.25mm / US 1 knitting needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round. Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. **Notions:** 3 stitch markers (including one unique for beginning of round), stitch holders or scrap yarn, tapestry needle **Notes:** Starflight are knit from the top down, with a 1x1 ribbed cuff and a large quilt-inspired star on the front and back of the leg, with vertical lines on the sides. The socks have a flap and gusset heel, a quilted texture on the top of the foot, and a row of flying geese triangles above the toe. Some knitters find they need to go up a needle size to achieve gauge for the colourwork section. Sample is knit with contrasting yarn (yarn B) held dominant.
