This is a great sock pattern by Melissa Morgan-Oakes -- you can make yourself socks that will make any day a glorious party!

Made with one skein of Schaefer's Nichole fingering weight yarn and size 8/0 beads, the combination is simply lovely.

Nichole is a superwash 80% merino/20% nylon yarn, each skein having 5 ounces (142 grams) with 405 yards (370 meters) of yarn. The gauge for this little pair is 7 sts x 10.5 rows per inch in stockinette. The pattern guides you to make make an adult small or medium pair of socks that will fit a foot circumference of 8.5 (9.5) inches.

Of course this pattern can be made without the beads, -- but we really love the look. The skill level is intermediate and assumes experience with socks and double-pointed needles, bead knitting and kitchener stitch.

A wonderful way to play!
