These top-down socks are knit with one skein (100g) of the main color and 3 mini skeins (20g each). The instructions include video tutorials to assist with many of the techniques to knit the sock, starting with a German Twisted Cast On and twisted rib cuff. The woven jacquard effect is achieved by slipping stitches while carrying the yarn in front. These contrast color floats produce a beautiful color pop texture on the leg of the sock. The leg and foot are knitted in broken ribbing with smooth stockinette stitch along the sole of the foot. Grab some color pops and cast on!

Finished Measurements
7 8, 9, 10, 11″ / 18 20, 23, 25, 28cm ankle and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 8 9, 10, 11, 12″ / 20 23, 25, 28, 30cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot.

The lengths of the cuff, ankle, and foot are easily customizable by knitting more textured pattern repeats for a longer ankle or foot or fewer textured pattern repeats for a shorter ankle or foot.
