Ocean Point Socks - KNITTING PATTERN

SIZES OFFERED:
-measurement is the circumference around the ball of the foot
X-Small: ~7 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 8.5 inches
Small: ~7.5 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9/9.5 inches
Medium: ~8 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9.5/10 inches
Large: ~9 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 11/11.5 inches

These measurements are based off of my sample piece, yours may vary slightly depending on gauge and tension. Please choose a size where the measurement of the circumference of the ball of your foot falls within the unstretched-stretched range. A rule of thumb that I have seen is that a sock should be made with about 10% negative ease (eg. my foot circumference is 8.5 inches, I would want a sock that has about 7.65 inch circumference), but you don’t need to follow that exactly. The length of the socks is customizable based on your foot length so only base your size on the foot circumference.

NEEDLES REQUIRED:
US2/2.75 mm 32+ inch circulars for magic loops method (you can also use 9 inch circulars or DPNs if you prefer, though pattern is written for magic loop method)
may need other size needles to meet gauge

GAUGE:
32 sts x 40 rows equals a 4x4 inch square/10x10 cm in stockinette after blocking
8 sts x 10 rows equals a 1x1 inch square/2.5x2.5 cm

YARN REQUIRED:
Two colours of any fingering weight yarn that you can get gauge with.

I used Knitpicks Hawthorne Tonal Hand painted (357 yds per 100 g ball) in Astoria (Main Colour - MC) and Klamath Falls (Contrast Colour - CC).

YARDAGE REQUIRED:
note the yardage/weight varies between different fingering weight yarn, so if you are using alternative yarns, make sure to calculate based on the yardage not the weight.

X-Small: ~49 grams/175 yards of MC, ~10 grams/36 yards of CC
Small: ~57 grams/203 yards of MC, ~12 grams/41 yards of CC
Medium: ~63 grams/223 yards of MC, ~13 grams/47 yards of CC
Large: ~73 grams/260 yards of MC, ~17 grams/59 yards of CC

Yardage is an approximation. I have included a fair bit of foot length for each size so this should accommodate all foot lengths. If you have extremely long feet, I would go with a little extra yardage just to be safe!
