Annas Socks

Size
One width, 72 sts, it can be varied by the needle size and yarn used.

Suggested yarn
All sock knitting yarns with a yardage of 360 - 425 m/100 g will work fine.
Up to size EU 40 / US 9 I recommend yarn with a length of 420m/100g, from size EU 41 / US 10 onwards use yarn with a length of 400m/100grams.

Depending on yardage and your knitting tension, you will need up to 45 g in CC and up to 70 g in MC for a pair of socks.

Notions
2 circular knitting needles in size 2 - 3,0 mm, cables at least 80 – 100 cm long, or other needles for knitting in the round. The needle sizes are suggestions only and should be adapted to your yarn and knitting tension.
2 stitch markers, tapestry needle

Use needles that give you the right size:

EU 41 / US 10: 16 stitches = 5 cm / 2’’ and 16 rounds = 5 cm / 2’’

onwards use yarn with a length of 400m/100grams. If you want to wear the socks in shoes, do not
use 100% Merino.

Needles:
2 circular knitting needles in size size EU 2- 3 / US 0 - 3,
depending on your knitting tension.I recommend
using circular needles and the magic loop technique. You can also knit the socks with double pointed needles - but you still need 2 circular knitting needles to cast on the socks (you start the socks at
the toes).

Further materials:
• 2 Stitch markers plus one special, to mark the beginning of the round (= round marker)
