Advent Socks

Materials

GAUGE:
35 sts x 37 rows = 4” (10 cm) in colourwork.
Adjust needle size and yarn choice to obtain the gauge you need for your desired sock circumference.
You may need to go all the way up to sport weight or DK yarn on US3 (3.25 mm) needles to get your desired sock size.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:
Total circumference of sock is 8” (20.3 cm) at this gauge.
Length of charted leg section: 5 5/16” (13.5 cm)
Length of charted foot section: 5 7/16” (13.7 cm).
Toe: 1 5/8” (4.1 cm). Heel: 1 3/4” (4.45 cm).
Length of foot including heel, toe, and Chart 2: 8 13/16”” (22.4 cm).
YARN:
Total: Approximately 350 yards of yarn in fingering weight at the gauge indicated in the pattern. Socks knit at a larger gauge will
require more yarn, as will socks with additional toe length.
Sport or DK weight yarn can be substituted for a larger sock or house slippers.
Background colour: 50 grams of fingering weight yarn will be enough for most sizes, especially if you are adding in heels, toes, or
cuffs of a contrasting colour.
Contrast colour yardage for each: A 5g scrap of contrast colour for each day of the 9 colourwork sections, or a 50g skein if using the
same contrast colour throughout. 5g is enough to knit days 2 and 14, for example.
Heels, cuffs and toes: a 5 gram of scrap yarn for each heel, cuff and toe should suffice if you are not using your background colour
for heels, toes and cuffs.
OPTIONAL: 1-2 yard lengths of contrasting colours for duplicate stitching or embroidery.
