Aeronauts Socks

**Prepare the Transit Beam and Join the Aeronauts!** Elevate your knitting experience and transport yourself out of the mundane earthly realm into a captivating new galaxy with our unique sock knitting pattern, the **Transit Beam Socks**. These enticing socks are expertly crafted cuff-down, showcasing an innovative short row heel and a rounded toe design. Unlike traditional short row heels, our pattern incorporates a modified gusset to ensure a superior fit around the arch of your foot, making these socks not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable. **Skill Level:** Intermediate. **Yarn Requirements:** You can choose any fingering or sock weight yarn that inspires you. **Yardage:** The yardage for the main color (MC) will vary based on foot length. For our sample size, which fits a 9” (22.75 cm) foot, you will need approximately 175 (210, 250) yards (160 (192, 230) meters). For adjustments in length, simply add or subtract 10 (12, 14) yards (9 (11, 13) meters) for every 1” (2.5 cm) change. For the contrasting color (CC), you will need approximately 80 (100, 120) yards (74 (92, 110) meters). **Needles:** For optimal results, use a US size 1 (2.25 mm) 32” (80 cm) circular needle or whatever needle size is necessary to achieve the correct gauge. **Available Sizes:** This pattern offers three sizes: 1 (2, 3). The finished unstretched circumference of the socks will measure 6 (7.25, 8.5)” / (15 (18.5, 21.5) cm). For the perfect fit, we recommend incorporating 1-1.5” (2.5-4 cm) of negative ease when measuring around the widest part of your foot.

Knit your way into comfort and style and let your feet embark on their own cosmic adventure.
