The Chain

**

Never break the chain! Inspired by the timeless classic "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac, these easy unisex toe-up socks feature a simple yet effective textured pattern that is perfect for both beginners and experienced knitters alike. Designed with a reinforced heel, these socks ensure maximum durability and wear, making them an essential addition to your knitting repertoire.

** Yarn: For this pattern, we recommend using 4-ply weight yarn, specifically the delightful Lil Weasel Lil Sock. This high-quality yarn is composed of 80% superwash merino and 20% nylon, providing both softness and strength. Each 100g skein offers an impressive 499 meters (546 yards) in the stunning colorway Typhoon 250, with yardage requirements of 310m (340 yards) for size small, 370m (400 yards) for size medium, and 370m (400 yards) for size large.

Needles: You will need 2.5 mm (US 1.5) needles for small diameter circular knitting to create these charming socks. These needles will help you achieve the perfect tension and ensure a snug fit.

Notions: Gather your supplies, including 5 stitch markers and a cable needle, to help keep your knitting organized and stress-free.

Gauge: Before you start, make sure to check your gauge. The ideal gauge for these toe-up socks is 32 stitches by 46 rows in a 10 cm x 10 cm (4 in x 4 in) swatch, measured over stockinette stitch (St st).

Finished Measurements: These stylish socks are designed to fit a foot circumference of 20.5 cm (8 in) for small, 23 cm (9 in) for medium, and 25.5 cm (10 in) for large, with the intention of wearing them with 0 cm/in of ease around the ball of the foot. Feel free to customize the foot length and leg height to suit your personal style and comfort.
