Land of Beauty

Land of Beauty socks have a tall ribbed cuff and a bit of colourwork both on the leg and before the toes. The socks are knit cuff-down and feature a heelflap and gusset. The yarn used in the pattern is a 100 % wool yarn spun to be durable on socks as well. Note, that due to the yarn the gauge is purposefully tight so be sure to choose a small enough needle. The pattern is written for magic loop, but can be worked with dpns as well. **Size:** 1-2-3 (48-56-64 sts) *Finished circumference: A, leg = 8.25-9-10 ” / 20-23,5-26,5cm B, foot = 7.25-8-8.5 ” / 17-20-23cm* Choose a size closest to the actual measurements of your feet. **Yarn:** Jalovilla (S)eko pässi (70 % rygja, 15 % texel, 15 % finnsheep, 230 m / 100 g) or other DK weight sock yarn.
