This knitting pattern is designated as Intermediate difficulty, making it ideal for those with some knitting experience. You will need to be comfortable knitting, purling, working in the round, and performing simple increases and decreases. This pattern is a fantastic way to challenge yourself and enhance your knitting repertoire.
For this project, you will need 2 skeins of Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn, composed of 75% Washable Wool and 25% Nylon; it has a generous length of 215 yards / 197 meters per 50 grams.
