Thermodular Socks

*This design combines a simple waffle rib stitch pattern with a modular construction for striking color blocked socks. The pattern begins top-down with the cuff and leg knitted in the round. Then the top foot of the sock is knitted flat to continue the waffle rib texture. The heel flap and heel turn are knitted in the self-striping contrast color. The sole of the sock is knitted flat while being knitted together with the top foot edge stitches. This seamless construction is fun to knit and beautifully showcases gradient or self-striping sock yarns. Choose between five size circumferences. The instructions include notes to help customize the length of the leg and foot for a perfect fit.* **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 (375, 450, 550, 700)yds / 274 (343, 412, 503, 640)m total MC - 165 (206, 247, 302, 385)yds / 151 (188, 226, 276, 352)m CC - 135 (169, 203, 248, 315)yds / 123 (155, 186, 227, 288)m **Shown In** Life in the Long Grass Merino High Twist Sock (100% Superwash Merino Wool; 400yds / 365m per 100g skein) MC - Particle Schoppel Wolle Zauberball Crazy (75% Wool, 25% Nylon; 459yds / 420m per 100g ball) CC - Föhnlage **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.
