These charming socks are crafted from the top-cuff down, featuring a beautiful stranded colorwork pattern that will make them stand out in any wardrobe. The ribbing of the cuff flows seamlessly into the heel flap and the toe, ensuring a snug fit and added comfort. This pattern is specifically designed for those who enjoy using double-pointed needles (DPNs).

Before you embark on this fun knitting adventure, please be aware that a solid understanding of reading charts is essential to successfully complete these socks. This project will not only enhance your knitting skills but also provide you with a unique and lovely finished product to wear or gift.

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. For the contrast color, use Vendita sock yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon; 210m/50g; 230yds/1.76oz)—just 1 ball needed. In our sample, we utilized 243m (266yds) of the main color and 117m (128yds) of the contrast color.
