The design allows for creative expression, as it can be paired with any colorway. Whether you’re using your favorite indie yarns or vibrant variegated options, you can avoid those "Boring Dad socks" and instead craft something special.

Finished Size: Small (7” around), Medium (8” around), Large (9” around), unstretched. These sizes ensure a perfect fit for a variety of foot sizes, making it an excellent choice for gifting.

Yarn: For the Grant Socks, we recommend using Neighborhood Fiber Company Studio Sock, a high-quality yarn made from 100% Superwash Merino wool. This soft and luxurious yarn boasts an impressive 400 yards per 100g skein, and our sample was creatively knit in the beautiful Mt. Vernon colorway.

Needles: To create your Grant Socks, you will need a set of five double-pointed needles or two circular needles, both in size US 1 (2.5 mm). Feel free to adjust your needle size to achieve the desired gauge for your socks.

Gauge: The key to perfect socks is achieving the right tension. For this pattern, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette when knitting in the round. This gauge will ensure that your finished socks are snug and comfortable.
