Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced. While the techniques used in this pattern are fairly standard, including cabling, knit through back loop (ktbl), purl through back loop (ptbl), increases, decreases, and top-down sock construction, the challenge lies in navigating one extensive chart. This pattern will require careful chart reading and knitters should be prepared for a rewarding, albeit demanding, knitting experience.
Finished Measurements: The socks feature a circumference of 8(9) inches or 20(22.5) centimeters, making them adjustable to various foot sizes. Both the foot height and gusset are customizable, allowing for a perfect fit tailored to your preferences.
Important Errata!: We want to ensure a smooth knitting experience, so please note that there is a missing symbol in the key and definitions. The missing symbol looks like this: /. (a slash with a dot), which represents Purl 2 together. We apologize for any confusion this may cause and appreciate your understanding!
