Caramel kiss socks
The Caramel Kiss socks are knitted from the cuff down towards the toes. They are started with an optional tubular cast on which provides a stretchy edge to the cuff. The heel flaps are knitted with a reinforced stitch pattern for durability and the heels are round French heels. Instructions are given for modifying the gusset for a more generous fit.
The lace pattern is modified from a lace chart found in the 250 Japanese knitting stitches by Hitomi Shida.

Needles
2.5 mm / US 1.5 DPNs or circular needles with a cable suitable for small circumference knitting
Always choose the needle size that gets you the right gauge.
Note: if you are using mini-circulars, you might want to use DPNs or Magic Loop for the Tubular Cast On.
Gauge
For size 1:
1 pattern repeat of Leg chart (20 sts)= 6.5 cm / 2.5 inches, in the round after blocking
30 sts and 38 rounds = 10 cm / 4 inches of Stockinette stitch, in the round after blocking.
For size 2:
1 pattern repeat of Leg chart (20 sts)= 7 cm / 2.75 inches, in the round after blocking
28 sts and 38 rounds = 10 cm / 4 inches of Stockinette stitch, in the round after blocking.
Note: If you can’t match the gauge both across the stitches and across the rounds, choose the needle size that gets you closer to the gauge across the stitches.
