Sorry, meant to write “when using 2.5mm needles, what is the gauge size?” Also Norie refers to using circular needles, does one follow the same instructions for dpn when using circulars?

When using a 2.25 mm needle(s), what is the gauge size ?

I have been knitting less than a year and am trying your pattern for my son. I am almost done with my first sock. I found the directions very easy to follow. I may be hooked. Thanks Marcie

I finally had success making a sock with this pattern. I cut the number of stitches down and used fingerling sock yarn and a circular needle that is between a 2 and a 3. I am well on my way on the second sock. Thank you so much. Norie

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.

Apologies for my delay in replying – the site was drowning in spam comments and I hadn’t seen any of yours!
Dale – I used 2.5mm needles
Kay – let me look into that, it’s often a WP glitch the upsets my formatting!
Chelsye – I think he has a UK size 9 or 10 so not really big feet but not small either! And of course! Feel free to link from your blog etc, happy to share!

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.

Awesome sock! I want to use this pattern for a couple pairs for my husband birthday. Can you tell me what size shoe the guy you made these for wears? Also, do you mind if I link to you and include the bottom pic in my blog?

Thanks!

I learned to knit socks this winter and am working on my 6th sock. I love knitting socks! Overall, your sock instructions on your Action Man socks seemed clear enough except for the Gusset instructions. The grammar wasn’t right, capitals in the wrong place and partial sentences. Would you please clerafy the gusset instructions for me please? Many thanks! Kay in Arizona
