One Weekend Socks

DK + Mohair! These socks are designed for speed, so you can knit them up quickly and enjoy their cozy embrace sooner. Slip them on and experience instant comfort, providing a snug haven for your tired toes. A perfect plan: warmth without the wait. Knitted from the toe up, using a short-row heel, carrying one strand of DK weight yarn together with 2 strands of mohair for extra warmth and comfort. **SIZES** Medium (Large). To fit a foot circumference of approx. 8½ (9¾)” [21.5 (24.5) cm]. Shown in size Large. **MATERIALS** Yarn: 1 skein of Merino DK by Suburban Stitcher (100% Merino; 250 yds [228 m] / 115 g), or approximately 180 (200) yards [164 (182) m] of DK weight yarn. 1 skein of Silk Cloud by Shibui (60% Mohair/40% Silk; 330 yds [302 m] / 25g), or approximately 300 (330) yards [274 (302) m] of laceweight mohair yarn. Note: For size large (Women's US 10 feet), I used up all of the mohair. If you're making these socks for longer feet, it's recommended to use a slightly bigger skein of mohair. The pattern requires using 1 strand of Merino DK yarn and 2 strands of Mohair/Silk held together throughout. Since these socks are knitted from the toe up, you can weigh your yarn before starting. Knit one sock until you've used approximately 50% of the yarn, then bind off and start the other sock. This approach ensures you have enough yarn for both socks. Needles: US 7 [4.5 mm] circular needles, about 32” [80 cm] long, for magic loop. Other: Locking stitch marker, regular stitch markers, tapestry needle. Extra needle in a similar size to work a tubular bind off. **GAUGE** 20 sts and 28 rounds to 4” [10 cm] in Stockinette St on US 7 [4.5 mm] needles.
