Jurassic Socks

Looking for a fun and quick knitting project? These delightful socks are perfect for knitters of all skill levels and can be easily created using any worsted weight yarn. The unique slip stitch pattern really pops when knit with variegated or color-changing yarn, making each pair of socks a one-of-a-kind creation. Not only are these socks stylish, but they are also thick enough to serve as cozy boot socks or comfy around-the-house slipper socks, ensuring your feet stay warm and comfortable all day long.

Available Sizes: Enjoy making these socks in two sizes: Medium, designed for foot circumferences of 20 – 23 cm (8 - 9 in), and Large, perfect for 25 – 28 cm (10 – 11 in) foot circumferences. Whether you’re creating a gift for someone special or treating yourself, these sizes fit a variety of foot shapes.

Yarn Requirements: For your main color, you will need 210 (260) meters (230 (284) yards) of worsted weight yarn; for the contrast color, gather 46 (50) meters (50 (55) yards) of worsted weight yarn. These yarn quantities allow for the perfect balance between comfort and durability, making your socks ideal for everyday wear.

Recommended Needles: A set of four 3 mm (US 2½) double-pointed needles (DPNs) is required for this project. The smaller size allows for precise stitches and a snug fit, ensuring your socks stay securely on your feet.

Essential Tools and Supplies: Don’t forget to gather a stitch marker and a tapestry or yarn needle before you start your project. These tools will simplify your knitting experience and help you keep track of your stitches.

Tension/Gauge: To achieve the best results, ensure you meet the tension and gauge of 25 stitches and 33 rounds, measuring 10 cm x 10 cm in Stocking Stitch when using 3 mm needles. This gauge will guarantee that your socks fit perfectly and retain their shape after washing.
