Color Socks
**MATERIALS NEEDED**
- **NEEDLES:** Use 2.25 mm and 2.5 mm (US sizes 1 and 1.5) circular needles or a set of double-pointed knitting needles (DPNs) for seamless sock knitting.

- **TOOLS:** Have a tapestry needle and scissors ready for finishing touches.
- **NOTIONS:** Don’t forget 2 stitch markers to help keep track of your work.
- **GAUGE:** For perfect fitting socks, ensure your gauge is 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4" = 30 stitches x 42 rows.

**ABOUT THE PATTERN**
These Colorful Cotton Socks are knitted from the top down, starting at the cuff and gracefully working down to the toes. The cuff and leg are knit in the round, allowing for a comfortable fit without seams. The heel is crafted using the right and wrong side technique, utilizing German short rows for enhanced shape and snugness. The foot and toe are expertly finished in a circular style. What’s great about this pattern is that all sizes are knitted using the same number of stitches, making it easier to follow. Key knitting skills required include knit, purl, k2tog (knit two together), ssk (slip slip knit), and the double stitch technique.
