Oorah Socks

These specially designed socks are honored with the name of my Marine brother-in-law, who has a fondness for comfortable boot socks. Although he is no longer on active duty, the motto “Once a Marine, always a Marine” resonates deeply, making these socks a perfect tribute to service and camaraderie.

**Finished Size:** Available in Small (M, Large) with measurements of 7” (8”, 9” around), unstretched, ensuring a snug fit for various foot sizes.

**Yarn:** For this pattern, we recommend using Dragonfly Fibers Traveler, a luxurious 100% Superwash Merino wool. Each skein provides 280 yards in a 4 oz weight (Sample knit in the stunning colorway 'Hidalgo'), perfect for creating warm, durable socks.

**Needles:** You will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or a set of two circular needles in size 5 US (3.75mm), or alternatively, any size you prefer to achieve the required gauge for an optimal fit and comfort.

**Gauge:** To ensure your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 6 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch, knitting in the round. Measuring your gauge is key to success when creating knit patterns.

This knitting pattern is great for those looking to craft durable and cozy socks, whether you’re a seasoned knitter or a beginner eager to take on a new project. Knit these homage to service, and enjoy the knitted comfort these Marine boot socks provide!
