Mystic Marigold

Here's a lovely knitting pattern designed for medium-sized socks. This size corresponds to EU sizes 37-38, US sizes 6-7, and UK sizes 4.5-5, making it a perfect fit for many knitters. To get started, you will need needles sized EU: 2, UK: 14, US: 0, and Canada: 14.

The gauge for this pattern is 16 stitches for 5 cm (or 2 inches) in stockinette or stocking stitch. Achieving this gauge is crucial for ensuring your socks fit comfortably, so be sure to check your tension as you knit.

For this project, you’ll need a few essential notions, including a stitch marker, a crochet needle, and a tapestry needle. These tools will help make your knitting process smoother and more enjoyable.

Regarding yarn, you will need just 1 skein (3.53 oz/100g) of fingering weight sock yarn. For best results, I recommend using a wool-based sock yarn that contains 20-35% nylon. This combination offers the ideal balance of stretch, durability, and warmth, making your socks not only beautiful but also practical.

This knitting pattern is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters looking to create cozy socks. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this pattern will guide you step by step. Happy knitting!
