Materials

It doesn’t have to be the Fourth of July to have a Saturday in the Park; all you need is a blanket and your knitting. These socks are just the thing to grab for your chill day.

  • Finished Measurements: Youth Medium/Adult Extra Small) (Youth Large/Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large, Adult Extra Large): 6 (6.5, 7, 7.75, 8.25)”/15 (16.5, 18, 19.5, 21) cm foot circumference. Sample socks shown with a 4″/10 cm leg length (measured from top of heel, customizable).
  • Yarn: approximately 100-280 yds/91-256 m DK- weight yarn. I used Knitted Wit DK in Badlands for the brown/pink/purple socks, with Raspberry Milkshake for toes and heels. If you are using a contrasting toe/heel color, you’ll need approximately 30-70 yds/27-64 m total.
  • Needles: US3/3.25 mm needle for small-circumference knitting, or size needed to get gauge.
  • Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch markers.
  • Gauge: 26 sts & 36 rnds = 4″/10 cm in stockinette stitch in the round, measured after blocking.
