Extranilla Socks

The Story

I’ve had multiple requests for a detailed pattern to knit My Favorite Vanilla Socks pattern with counter color cuffs, heels and toes. So without further ado - here she is: My Favorite Vanilla Socks with a little extra oomph - Extranilla!

Materials

• Main Color: 300-400 yds Fingering Weight Yarn
• Counter Color: 125 yds Fingering Weight Yarn
• US 1.5 (2.50mm) 32-inch circular needle (or preferred length). Adjust needle size as necessary to match gauge.
• Removable stitch marker (1)
• Stitch markers (2)

Finished Sizes: 7 (8, 9) inch circumference (recommended fit: 1-inch neg. ease)

**Note: **Required yardage will vary based on the size of sock being knit. The yardage above assumes the largest sock circumference and a very long foot. The sample socks, knit in the medium size for a women’s size 6.5 shoe, used only 80 yds of CC and 220 yds of MC. Plan accordingly!

These socks are worked from the cuff down with a gusset heel and are written for the Magic Loop technique.
