Hold it Together is one of the prize socks from the AM Sock-a-long! Congratulations to all that participated -- the KAL may be over, but the thread is going strong, please feel free to post these new ones in there!

Finished Sizes
7½ (8½, 9½)“ foot circumference (slightly stretched) x 8½ (9½, 10½)” long. Socks shown measure 8½ x 9½“.

Yarn
The Plucky Knitter Feet (90% merino, 10% nylon; 425 yds /100 g): Lake Placid and Antoinette, 1 skein each. (One strand of each is held together throughout pattern.) Appx 285 (325, 365) yds each of 2 fingering weight yarns—exact yardage will vary!

Needles
Size US 7 (4.5 mm) and US 5 (3.75 mm) in preferred method for small circumference. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

Notions
Marker (m); tapestry needle.

Gauge
20 sts and 28 rows = 4” in Stockinette Stitch on larger needles (2 strands of yarn held together)

Notes
These socks are worked top down in the round. The heel flap is worked flat across one needle and is then shaped with short rows. Work continues in the round to shape the gusset. Instructions are written for 2 needles (magic loop) — if double pointed are preferred, simply divide stitches onto 4 needles.
