10rowsaday's video: Zigzag Socks - Colourful Toe-Up Socks with Great Fit

The pattern is at https://www.10rowsaday.com/zigzag-socks What’s so special about these socks? Two words – fit and fun. SIZE Children’s shoe sizes – 9, 12 (US sizes) / 25, 30 (European sizes) / approximately fits 3, 6 years old kids. Women’s shoe sizes – 5, 7, 9 (US sizes) / 35/36, 37/38, 39/40 (European sizes) Men’s shoe sizes – 7, 9, 11, 13 (US sizes) / 40, 42, 44, 46 (European sizes) YARN Any sock yarn (wool or wool blend) that has the equivalent of 200 m / 210 yds in 50 g / 1.7 oz (it is consistent with the Sport weight that is marked by digit 2 on the yarn label). You will need around 140, 160 / 180, 200, 210 / 200, 220, 230, 250 m (150, 170 / 200, 220, 230 / 220, 240, 250, 270 yds) of yarn in the main colour, and around 60, 70 / 90, 90, 100 / 90, 100, 110, 120 m (70, 80 / 90, 100, 110 / 100, 110, 120, 130 yds) of yarn in a contrasting colour to make a pair of quarter socks and a bit less yarn to make a pair of ankle socks. The quarter socks featured in the photos are made with Knitca Socks yarn in Monaco Blue as the main colour and Tangerine as the contrasting colour. The ankle socks featured in the photos are made with Knitca Socks yarn in Beige as the main colour and Fandango as the contrasting colour. NEEDLES Circular or double-pointed needles in size 2.75 mm (US size 2). Note: I find it more comfortable to make these socks using the magic loop method and the pattern is written with this setup in mind. You can also work with two circular needles or with five double-pointed needles. If you prefer to work with one short circular needle, cast on stitches using any of the other ways to work in the round, and then transfer stitches to the short circular needle after you shape the toe part of the sock (step 2 of this pattern). To work with one long needle and the magic loop method, the circular needle should be at least 80 cm / 32” long. NOTIONS 1 locking stitch marker 1 thin wool needle or a thick sewing needle row counter (optional but recommended).
