Twinkle Lights

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel.

I wanted to design a holiday sock that looked like a string of lights were hanging down. These would look great in any color of yarn, not just traditional holiday colors. The gauge is for two different types of sock yarns, since an 80/20 is a much plumper yarn, you may get a different gauge. Just choose which gauge works best for you.

Gauge:

30 sts and 44 rnds = 4”/10 cm in st st in the round on US #1/2.25mm needles with 80/20 fingering weight yarn 400 yds/100g

32 sts and 48 rnds = 4”/10cm in st st in the round on US #1/2.25mm needles with 75/25 fingering weight yarn 464 yds/100g
