Notions
3 stitch markers, tapestry needle
Gauge
32 sts & 48 rnds = 4″ / 10cm in textured patterns after blocking
32 sts & 50 rnds = 4″ / 10cm in stockinette stitch after blocking
Color Fading Note
If you are using leftover amounts of yarn, I recommend dividing your colors in half to ensure you have enough yarn of each color for an identical Right Sock and Left Sock.
Use color A on its own for the Cuff and half of the Leg. When you are about halfway finished with the Leg, start striping colors A & B for 2 rnds each until the Leg is completed.
Use color B on its own for the Heel Flap, Heel Turn, & Gusset. Stripe colors B & C for 2 rnds each during the beginning of the Foot instructions.
Use color C on its own for the final Foot & Toe rnds.
If you are knitting a one-color version, then use the same color throughout the entire sock.
