Tiny Sox

Finished Measurements: Length (washed, not blocked) – 9 cm; Weight of a sock – 6 g. This cozy sock pattern is perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, allowing you to create warm, stylish footwear.

Yarn: This pattern utilizes a blend of 75% wool and 25% polyamide, featuring a soft texture that keeps your feet comfortable. The yarn weight is a fine 205 m per 50 g skein, making it ideal for various sock designs.

Knitting Needles: Use 5 double-pointed needles (DPNs) in size 2.5 mm (US 1.5) to easily manipulate the stitches and achieve a well-fitted sock.

Gauge: To ensure the perfect fit, maintain a gauge of 16 stitches and 13 rows per 5 cm in stockinette stitch, worked in the round. This gauge is based on fabric that has been washed but not blocked, so be sure to knit a swatch before starting your project.

Further Tools Required: Along with your knitting needles and yarn, gather a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors for trimming, a row counter to keep track of your stitch count, and stitch markers (optional) for easier pattern navigation.

Required Knowledge/Skills: Familiarity with one of the following cast-on techniques is essential: Figure Eight Cast-On, Judy’s Magic Cast-On, Aggie’s Simple Cast-On, or Turkish Cast-On. Additionally, you should know basic knitting techniques including knit (k), purl (p), knit front and back (kfb), knit two together (k2tog), and a stretchy cast-off method (refer to the Useful Sources for guides).

Suggestions for Customization: Feel free to personalize your socks! Adjust the foot length by knitting more or fewer rows during the foot section (the rows before the heel). Similarly, modify the leg length by adding or reducing rows after completing the heel. This flexibility allows you to create truly unique socks that fit your style and preferences.
