● Adapting this sock into a mid-calf sock is easy! After finishing the cuff, you can knit for as
many rows as you like until the leg reaches your desired length. Yardage needed will vary
greatly based on the length of leg you choose to do.
● As the pattern is written, it should use less than one full skein of yarn for all sizes, while
mid-calf socks will likely require two skeins. You could also use a contrasting colour for
your heels, toes, and cuffs if you only have one skein of the primary colour.
