Let's dive into some delightful sock magic, shall we?

The **Sleight of Hand** sock pattern is a must-try for cable lovers and sock enthusiasts alike. These charming socks are crafted cuff down, beginning with an adorable picot border that adds a touch of elegance. The design incorporates a simple yet effective heel construction using short rows, making it a perfect pattern for knitters of various skill levels. While the socks are designed to be ankle high, you can easily customize the length to create taller legs according to your personal preference.

Available Sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.

Yarn Requirements: For this project, we recommend **Wool Me Once Fibers Gold Glitter Sock** (75% merino, 20% nylon, 5% stellina, 400 m/100 g) or any high-quality fingering weight yarn. The pattern is beautifully showcased in the enchanting color **Ochrus Pochrus**. You will need just **one skein** to complete your socks. Please note that the required yardage may vary based on the size you choose and the desired length of the foot.

Needle Information: To begin crafting your socks, use **US 1 (2.25 mm)** circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns). Depending on your tension, you may need to adjust your needle size to achieve the correct gauge.

Gauge: Ensure you have a gauge of **17 sts x 23 rnds = 2x2’’/5x5 cm** in stockinette stitch (after blocking) for the best fit.
