Any Superwash Merino/Nylon Sock yarn in fingering weight would work well for this pattern. I used Moonglow Yarn Co’s Woodland Witch Sock Set, but if stash diving you will need: One Main Color and 3 contrast colors (CB, CC, and CD) and 3 accent colors (CE, CF, and CG). This pattern a great way to use up scrap sock yarn!
