These little anklets are worked from the toe up in bouncy sock yarn held together with fluffy silk mohair. Added bonus? The silk mohair naturally strengthens the sock without the need for nylon! The picot cuff is the perfect pretty finish! They are named for the loveliest, kindest person who needed to warm her feet and so received my first pair I made - Suska.* **SIZES** 1 (2) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** 7.5 (8.75)”/19 (22) cm foot circumference *Recommended fit is 1”/2.5 cm of negative ease in circumference (when measured at the widest part of the foot) and 15% negative ease in length.* **YARN REQUIREMENTS** Fingering weight held double with Lace weight 241 (320) m/263 (350) yd/60 (80) g Fingering weight 210 (337) m/230 (368) yd/25 (40) g Lace weight *These 2 yarns held together create what would be equal to approx. a sport weight yarn.
