This pattern uses the magic loop technique, which requires using a circular needle with a cable length of at least at least 80 cm / 32” instead of double-pointed needles. For magic loop, the front of the leg and top of the foot are worked across the first needle (N1); the back of the leg, heel, and sole of the foot are worked across the second needle (N2).

32 sts x 48 rounds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” (in the round, in stockinette stitch, after blocking)
