Woolly Waffle Socks

*Choose three colors of fingering weight sock yarn and fade them together for this textured sock. This pattern is knit top-down with an easy-to-knit knit & purl motif. The instructions include notes to help you fade three colorways together, but feel free to use as many shades as you like. Video links are included to help you cast on, work the heel flap, and bind off with the Kitchener stitch technique. Enjoy this simple relaxing sock project as your beautiful hand-dyed colors shine!* **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) **Finished Measurements** 6 (7.5, 9, 10.5, 12)″ / 15 (19, 23, 27, 30)cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking. Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease. Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7 (8.5, 10, 11.5, 13)″ / 18 (22, 25, 29, 33)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot. The lengths of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot. **Yarn** Fingering weight **Yardage** Approximately 300 (350, 380, 400, 440)yds / 274 (320, 347, 366, 402)m total The sample used about an equal amount of yarn for all 3 colors. I recommend having a bit more than the total recommended yardage to give yourself more freedom with your faded color transitions. **Shown in** Punk Rock Unicorn Soul (85% Superwash Merino Wool, 15% Nylon; 437yds / 400m per 100g skein) **Blue Socks** Color A - Opal (lightest) Color B - Bikini Bottom Color C - Bali Beach (darkest) **Purple Socks** Color A - Flieder Spex (lightest) Color B - Flieder Spex Pink Color C - Cinnaplum (darkest) **Needles** US 1 / 2.25mm circular in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge Magic loop method is used for knitting in the rnd.
