The unique design combined with a speckled yarn as the main color adds a whimsical touch that reminds us of twinkling Christmas lights shimmering in the snow!

This beautiful sock pattern is offered in one standard size, which utilizes 70 stitches.

Alternatively, consider changing the yarn weight to find your perfect fit.

The recommended gauge for these festive Christmas socks is 9 stitches per inch and 9 rows per inch in the pattern when using 2.75 mm (US 2) needles, ensuring that your socks maintain their cozy charm.

• 175 m (190 yds) of fingering weight yarn in a contrasting color (CC)
• 2.5 mm (US 1.5) double pointed or circular needles
• 2.75 mm (US 2) double pointed or circular needles
