MATERIALS

Yarn

• Kässäkerho Pom Pom Donegal Tweed (85% merino, 15% dye-resistant nylon, 400 m/100 g), 1 skein in silver gray
• or approx. 320 (400) m / 350 (440) yd of fingering-weight sock yarn

Look for a round, high-twist yarn with good stitch definition. This makes the twisted stitches pop.

Needles

• 2.5 mm / US 1½ DPNs or circular needle(s) for working small circumferences in the round (or size needed to obtain gauge)

Notions

• Stitch markers: 1 locking, 2 closed (4 if working two-at-a-time)
• Darning needle

GAUGE

• 29 sts × 46 rnds = 10 cm / 4“ in stockinette
• 26 sts × 46 rnds = 10 cm / 4“ in Fallen Needles Rib, slightly stretched

TECHNIQUES USED

The pattern uses the following techniques: working small circumferences in the round using either DPNs or magic loop, twisted stitches and lace, short rows. Ability to work lace from chart is recommended but written instructions are also provided for the stitch pattern and patterned instep.

The pattern assumes knowledge of some cast-on and bind-off method for toe-up socks; references are given for a couple of alternatives. The pattern also assumes knowledge of working short rows using the wrap-and-turn method.
