October Moon
October Moon socks are perfect for autumn, but I do wear mine year-round. They’re too much fun not to! I created these specifically with speckled yarn in mind for the main color, with the colorwork bats blending into the background here and there. The socks will look equally good on a solid background, too.
Materials
Yarn:
MC: 1 skein of iKKe BFL Sock (75% Bluefaced Leicester, 25% nylon; 425 m / 465 yds per 100 g);
CC: 1 skein of Lanitium ex Machina BFL Sock Twist (80% Bluefaced Leicester; 20% nylon; 366 m / 400 yds per 100 g)
or approximately 210 (225, 240) m / 230 (245, 260) yds of fingering weight sock yarn for MC and 92 (98, 104) m / 100 (107, 114) yds of CC
Needles: 2 mm / US 0 dpns (or circular needles for magic loop) or size needed to obtain gauge
