To create both sizes, you’ll need approximately 142 (197) yards, 130 (180) m, and 33 (45) g of the MC, alongside 38 (49) yards, 35 (45) m, and 9 (11) g of contrast color. Please note that yardage may vary according to your gauge and yarn choices.

**Gauge:** The ideal gauge for this pattern is 32 stitches and 42 rounds to 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch, achieved using US #1 (2.25 mm) needles. Be sure to check your gauge to ensure the perfect fit!

**Needles:** For a seamless knitting experience, gather your US #1 / 2.25 mm double-pointed needles (or circular needles for magic loop method) and US #1.5 / 2.5 mm needles specifically for the colorwork section. Feel free to adjust needle sizes as necessary to achieve the correct gauge.

**Other Notions:** Don't forget essential supplies like stitch markers and a darning needle to finish your beautiful Sara Socks neatly.
