NEEDLES & NOTIONS
For this pattern, you will need US 0 (2.00 mm) double-pointed needles or circular needles if you’re employing the Magic Loop technique. Additionally, gather some stitch markers and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends at the conclusion of your project. These are essential tools to ensure your knitting experience is smooth and enjoyable.
GAUGE
Achieve a gauge of 36 x 42 stitches per 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) using the stranded colorwork pattern provided in Chart A. Accurate gauge is crucial to ensure your finished socks fit perfectly.
MEASUREMENTS
