Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: 6 markers; stitch holders; cable needles; waste yarn. Please note, short-row is worked best with DPNs or a spare circular needle.

Gauge:
30 sts and 42 rows over 10 cm in in pattern stitch worked in the round with 3.25 mm needles after wet blocking.

Charts:
These charts are worked using slipped stitches. Unlike Fair Isle, there are no color changes during the round, no threads floating at the back of the work – or at the inside of the sock. Each round is worked completely in one color. At the end of each round, pick up the next color from underneath the color you just worked with to create a jogless striping (do not twist yarns).
