Rainbow Flip Top Mitts
MATERIALS:
To create your perfect pair of socks, you will need the following materials:
- Yarn: 100 grams of sport weight sock yarn is required, with a suggested length of 400 meters. For this pattern, I used only 50 grams of 6 ply Sockenwolle from the talented Nicole C. Mendéz, which you can find at her shop: www.nicolecmendez.etsy.com. This high-quality yarn offers excellent durability and comfort, making it ideal for cozy sock knitting.
- Needles: You'll need US size 1 (2.75mm) double point needles for this project. Having a set of these needles is essential for shaping and knitting in the round. Additionally, a tapestry needle will be useful for weaving in those pesky ends and ensuring your socks look polished and professional.
- Gauge: To achieve the best fit for your socks, maintain a gauge of 28-30 stitches over 4” (10 cm) when working in stockinette stitch. Getting your gauge correct is crucial for a perfect sock fit.
With this material setup, you're all set to begin your sock-knitting adventure! Whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern will guide you through creating stylish and comfortable socks that you can wear or gift. Happy knitting!
