Difficulty level: Intermediate. This pattern incorporates essential techniques such as stranded knitting, working from charts, cuff-down sock construction, and knitting in the round on DPNs.
Yarn: For this project, you'll need Lana Grossa Meilenweit Special (80% wool, 20% nylon; 209m/50g; 229yds/1.76oz) in the main color—2 balls will suffice.
