Finished Size: 14” x 12”
Gauge: 9 rows x 5 stitches = 1 inch on sz 6 and 8 needles
Needles: sz 3 (for casting on), 5, 6, & 8 (double pointed needles or magic loop)
Notions: (2) stitch markers, crochet hook (F),
Notes: In this pattern, I let the needles do the work. I didn’t increase in stitch quantity because I didn’t want
any increase marks on such brightly colored yarn. I worked it from the top down because when I tried from the bottom up,
I always over-increased and did not like the overall look and so I decided to make these from the top down.

**I cannot stress this enough to mind your gauge. Your leg and foot circumference matters greatly in your fit so
measure twice to knit once. Thankfully, this was a yarn that could take several (and I do mean several) do overs.

***While I am a ROYGBIV obsessed, there is NO wrong color combination. Go wild. Be tame. Just enjoy the project.

After knitting, I rinse my projects using Dove conditioner.
For this project, I did not block them. I just wove the end and hung them out to dry.
