Construction: The Madeleine socks are knitted in the round from the ankle to the toe. The work begins with a delicate ruffled edge. The leg is knitted in ribbing and includes a stockinette section for duplicate stitch embroidery or sewing on a tassel. The heel is then shaped using short rows, preceded by a few increases for added comfort. The leg and foot can easily be adjusted to the desired length. Finally, the toe is finished with a completely invisible join using the grafting technique.

Sizes: This sock pattern is available in 4 sizes, from shoe size 35 to 42. You can view our size chart by clicking here.

Materials needed:

• Yarn: Sock yarn, 75% wool, 25% biodegradable nylon (420 m / 100 g): one single ball of sock yarn is enough to knit a pair of socks, regardless of the size chosen. If you wish to create a contrasting ruffled edge and contrasting embroidery, allow 10 to 15 g (about 50 m) of an identical contrasting yarn.
• Circular needles - 2.5 mm with a 55 or 60 cm cable to knit the ruffled edge and toes. They can also be used for magic-loop knitting. - 2.5 mm short (5 cm) with a 13 cm cable for knitting without magic-loop.
• 2 stitch markers
• Yarn needle for weaving in ends at the end of the work
