Needles
US 1 / 2.25mm DPNs or size needed to obtain gauge
You can use a circular needle if you prefer. US 1 / 2.25 circular needle in 40″ / 100cm length or size needed to obtain gauge. If you are using the Magic Loop method, then you will also need 1 spare double pointed needle in the same size or smaller for holding sts or you could use 1 spare circular needle in the same size or smaller for holding sts. If you want to knit both socks simultaneously, then you will need two sets of DPNs or circular needles.
Notions
3 stitch markers, tapestry needle
Gauge
32 sts & 50 rnds = 4″ / 10cm in stockinette stitch after
blocking
The socks are knit with a firm tidy gauge. You may need to go
down one or two needle sizes to achieve gauge and that’s okay.
