Materials Needed:
- 100g ball of 4ply yarn. For reference, I used West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply in a vibrant shade called Bubblegum.
- 2.5 mm (US size 1.5) DPNs or the size required to achieve the proper gauge.
- A needle for weaving in ends, ensuring a polished finish for your socks.
- Stitch holders if necessary for managing your stitches.
While the pattern is written specifically for double-pointed needles (DPNs), you can also use a long circular needle and the magic loop technique if you prefer that method.
Gauge:
To ensure your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 32 stitches and 48 rows over 10cm (4 inches) when worked in stocking stitch.
Sizing Information:
This pattern is designed to fit a medium woman’s foot, with an approximate foot circumference of 23 cm (9 inches). The socks will be worn with negative ease for a snug yet comfortable fit. If you wish to customize the size, you can easily adjust the fit by changing your needle size or the thickness of the yarn used.
Enjoy creating your very own Little Block Socks and keep your feet warm and stylish. This knitting pattern is your perfect companion for cozy evenings, travel knitting, or even as a thoughtful and practical gift for friends or family!
