Knitting enthusiasts will love this carefully crafted pattern that features a top-down design with an integrated gusset strong heel and a beautifully grafted wedge toe. This design not only enhances structure but also ensures a comfortable fit for your hand-knit socks.

Finished Size: XS (S, M, L, XL). These stylish socks are designed with a foot circumference of 7 (7¼, 7¾, 8¼, 8¾)" (18 [18.5, 19.5, 21, 22] cm), meant to be worn with approximately 1" (2.5 cm) of negative ease for that snug, perfect fit.

Yarn: For this project, you will need fingering weight yarn (#1 Super Fine). The pattern is showcased using SweetGeorgia CashLuxe Fine, a luxurious blend consisting of 70% superwash Merino, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon. Each skein offers 400 yards (365 m) per 4 oz (115 g), and you will require 1 (1, 2, 2, 2) skeins depending on your selected size. The colorway used here is Lollipop, adding a playful touch to your socks.

Needles: You will need Size U.S. 1 (2.25 mm) needles in your preferred configuration for knitting small circumferences in the round. Options include double-pointed needles (DPNs), a long circular needle for the magic loop method, 2 shorter circulars, or a set of three flexible DPNs. If you wish to knit in the round with an 8–9" (20–23 cm) circular needle, that's a great option too. Remember to adjust your needle size as necessary to ensure you achieve the correct gauge.

Notions: Don’t forget to gather your knitting essentials including stitch markers, 1 removable marker, and a yarn needle to help with finishing your project neatly.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 34 stitches and 46 rounds = 4" (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch. Always check your gauge before starting to ensure that your finished socks will fit as intended.
