Silent Trees
Skill level: advanced beginner to intermediate; need to know Judy’s Magic Cast On, magic loop, wrapping stitches, knitting wrapped stitches.
Finished dimensions: Small: foot circumference about 7” (17.5cm), Large: foot circumference about 8” (20 cm)
Suggested Yarn: sock weight yarn, total of about 1.75 oz (50 g) or 219 yd (200 m) for Small size, 2 oz (60g) or 263 yd (240 m) for Large size. I have used Fibeer Arts Studio by Yoriko Oki Indigo Constellation Color, and a small amount of The Cozy Knitter self-striping yarn in Advent 2021 colorway for contrast.
Needles: size 1 (2.25 mm) and size 2 (2.75 mm) circular needle, or size needed to obtain gauge. You may also use dpns, distributing each half of the sts on 2 dpns (2 dpns for instep side, and 2 dpns for sole side)
Gauge: 8 st and 12 rows = 1” (2.5 cm) in stockinette on a smaller needle
These shortie socks would be good practice for diving into colorwork. The colorwork goes on the foot only hugging it neatly with no colorwork to tighten over the leg of the sock. If you wish to lengthen the ribbing to fold it over keep in mind that you would need more yarn.
