Sample was knit on 3.0 mm / US 2 ½ and on 3.5 mm / US 4 needles.

Notions

• 1 unique stitch marker for end of round
• Darning needle

Gauge

38 sts and 38 rnds per 10cm / 4”, worked in the rnd in stockinette st on 3.5mm / 2 ½ needles, after blocking.

Changes in gauge will result in size differences and affect the amount of yarn needed to complete the project. Please take the time to check your gauge.

Techniques Used

• Long tail cast on

• Stranded knitting in the round

• Flat knitting (heel)

Construction

The socks are worked from cuff to toe. The additional stitches for the calf are decreased along the leg.

These socks are knitted in a roughly style, the strands carried quite wildly at the wrong side of the work, so they show through the sts on the front side. 

For these socks, Meret used the shadow wrap heel technique. This specific technique is not explained in the pattern, so if you are not familiar with it, you can find some youtube videos online. It is also perfectly possible to use your own preferred heel technique. 

Both socks begin with a 1x1 ribbing for the cuff, next work the chart as mentioned.
