- If you choose to knit the Wavy Cuff, it's advisable to create a swatch that is 30 stitches wide with the appropriate needle sizes to ensure the best fit and texture.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this adaptable sock pattern promises a delightful knitting experience and a personalized fit. Get ready to create stunning, unique socks that you'll love to show off!
