Product Details

It all began when two different people asked me “How many stitches should I cast on for a sock?”

The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is…42!

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

But that really wasn’t what they were asking, you can cast on any number of stitches and knit a sock…what they really wanted to know was “with this yarn, these needles and that stitch pattern, how many stitches should I cast on to get a sock that fits me?” (Even though they didn’t think that information was relevant.) Sizes : 7 (8, 9) inch circumference. 18, 20, 22 cm Materials: Briggs and Little Tuffy 80% Pure Wool/20% Nylon, 215 yards196m 113 gms 4 ounces Shown in Greystone US 5 3.75mm, or US 6 4mm, or US 7 4.5mm needles for your preferred small diameter in the round knitting, OR size needed to obtain gauge.
