Yarn Requirements
You will need approximately 420 yards (384 meters) of fingering weight sock yarn to whip up your own stunning pair of socks. For our sample, we used the luxurious Madelinetosh Twist Light, which is composed of 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon. Each skein contains 420 yards (384m) in a 100g bundle, showcasing the delightful Color Daffodil!
Needle Size
To create these lacy beauties, use Size US1 (2.25mm) needles, specifically designed for small circumference knitting in the round. These needles ensure that your stitches are tight and even, making your socks snug and cozy.
Gauge
Your gauge should be 34 stitches and 46 rounds in stockinette stitch on size US1 (2.25mm) needles, which measures 4 inches (10cm) worked in the round. Achieving the right gauge is crucial for ensuring that your socks fit perfectly!
Other Essential Materials
In addition to yarn and needles, make sure to gather a stitch holder or waste yarn, 2 stitch markers, and a tapestry needle. These tools will help in the smooth execution of your knitting project.
Whether you are an experienced knitter or a beginner ready to challenge yourself, the Lacy Leaf Socks will not only keep your feet warm but will also make a lovely addition to your wardrobe. Dive into this delightful pattern today and enjoy the art of knitting!
