While his origin story later reveals otherwise, he spends most of his life insisting that he is “NOT a raccoon!” These easy-to-knit top-down socks were designed in his honor, with speckles of black and white yarn marled with brown mohair stripes. While the sample is quite raccoon-like in appearance, changing up the colors can ensure that your new footwear is Not a Raccoon, but is every bit as unique and clever as this fierce mercenary. **FINISHED SIZE** Adult S (M, L, XL) **Leg/Foot Circumference:** 7 (8, 9, 10)”/ 18 (20.5, 23, 25.5) cm; fits leg/foot circumference of 8 (9, 10, 11)” / 20.5 (23, 25.5, 28) cm **Leg/Foot Length:** Adjustable to fit **YARN** Leading Men Fiber Arts SHOW STOPPER (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon; 463 yds / 100g) OR 400 yds / 366 m light fingering weight sock yarn AND Leading Men Fiber Arts MOHAIR / SILK (72% Superkid Mohair, 28% Mulberry Silk; 459 yds / 50 g) OR 200 yds / 183 m laceweight mohair yarn *Sample shown in ‘Just Sayin’’ (MC) and ‘Chocolate Mousse’ (CC)* **NEEDLES** US 1 (2.25mm), or as needed to meet gauge; DPNs or needles for small circumference knitting **NOTIONS** 2 stitch markers Tapestry needle **GAUGE** In Stockinette: 32 sts and 48 rounds = 4” (10 cm) In Marled Stockinette: 32 sts and 40 rounds = 4” (10 cm) ***Follow [@paperdaisycreations](https://www.instagram.com/paperdaisycreations/) on Instagram to see what's on my needles!
