To finish off your socks beautifully, you'll also learn the stretchy Bind Off techniques, which include yarn overs and the popular 'Tubular Bind Off' method.
Please note that the instructions provided detail the sock size 38/39. To find sizing information for all other sizes, refer to the accompanying size charts for your convenience.
Your Yarn Choices: For these stylish socks, you will need 100 g of your preferred yarn. Consider using ‘Merida’ by Lamana (50% Pure Wool, 25% Silk, 25% Polyamide; 200 m/50 g), ‘High Twist Concept’ by Atelier Zitron (80% Pure Wool, 20% Polyamide; 200 m/50 g), or ‘Balance’ by Atelier Zitron (60% Pure Wool, 40% Tencel; 200 m/50 g).
