These socks are made with surprisingly soft Knitpicks Stroll Tonal Fingering in Blue Yonder and Golden Glow colorways. The anchor pattern comes from 55 Christmas Balls to Knit by Arne and Carlos. The waves pattern comes from The Encyclopedia of Knitting by Leslie Stanfield. The anchor pattern is a 16 row repeat and the waves are 8. The anchors and heels were done on size US3/3.25 mm DPNs and the waves and toes on size US2.5/3mm DPNs. The sock has 64 sts CO, the heel was worked on 32 down to 12.
