Skill Level: This pattern is designed for advanced beginners to intermediate knitters, offering just the right amount of challenge to develop your skills.
Finished Dimensions: Available in two sizes: Small with a foot circumference of about 7.5" (19 cm) and Large with a circumference of about 8.5" (22.5 cm). Plus, you'll find multiple foot lengths included to cater to every size!
Suggested Yarn: For this project, we recommend worsted weight yarn. You’ll need a total of about 5.5 oz (156 g) or 275 yards (252 m). We had success using Peace Fleece Antarctica White, a lovely 70% Merino/30% Mohair blend for added warmth and softness.
Needles: To achieve the best results, use size 3 (3.25 mm) and size 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles for the magic loop technique, or the size required to meet the gauge. Alternatively, you can use double-pointed needles (dpns), separating the stitches across 2 dpns for the instep and 2 dpns for the sole side.
Gauge: To ensure your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 10 stitches and 15 rows = 2" (2.5 cm) in stockinette stitch using the smaller needle.
Whether you're making these sweet ruched socks for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, they are sure to become a favorite in your knitting repertoire. Don't miss out on the chance to create beautiful, functional, and warm socks to enjoy all year round!
