These stranded socks are knit from the cuff down. The pattern just defines „rounds“ and „rows“ so it works equally well for double pointed needles or Magic Loop.

Since there are no rest rows and no pattern repeats the pattern is recommended for advanced knitters.
It is written in English.

The socks are mirrored and can be knit in two circumferences: 69 and 79 stitches.

There are two leg lengths to choose from. The short leg is only 16cm/6.4 inches long (with an option to shorten it by about 2cm/0.8 inches). The long leg is 17,5cm/7 inches long (with an option to lengthen it even further).

The foot comes in two lengths, too. The short foot will be approx. 23cm/9.2 inches long. The long foot will be 26cm/10.4 inches long. Both lengths can be fine tuned during the knitting of the toe.

The leg and foot lengths can be freely combined and each sock can be knit in either the small or the large circumference.

There are different charts for each of the short and the long options. The two circumferences are achieved by skipping a few stitches marked in each chart. Be careful to choose the right chart for the chosen length.

Because there are no pattern repeats the charts are quite large. To make up for the massive charts most of the floats have a maximum length of seven stitches.
