Paula, you’re absolutely right and I’ve updated the pattern to reflect that – thank you!

Perhaps Round 3 of the pattern should read P2, k2tog, yf, k3, yf, sl1, k1, psso, p2 ?

Hi Connie and Catherine – apologies for the delay!

Briana Llae is a UK yarn and I just tried to find the website (they’re based in Primrose Hill, London) but it seems to be down at the moment.
It’s slightly thicker than a standard 4ply/sock yarn – almost more a fingering weight but certainly suitable for socks!
I’m afraid I’ve never been a “gauge” knitter so can’t tell you want to look out for with a different yarn but providing you use something that is marked as sock yarn, I can’t imagine you’ll go far wrong.
Connie – this is an female medium size, my grandmother has UK 5.5 sized feet and they fit her fine (and fitted me fine when I checked them before giving them to her and my feet are slightly larger.

These look great and I plan to make a pair for my mother-in-law who has the same problem as your grandmother. I have a couple of questions about the yarn. If I buy from Brianna, how much should I buy? If I buy a commercial yarn, what gauge should I look for? Looking forward to your answers, so is she.

I can’t find any information about this yarn, can you tell me the weight of this type of yarn and is this an Adult medium size?
Thanks.
