Green Dragon Socks

This pattern should drop straight into your favourite sock pattern, but with a few extra stitches. Especially important is: if you normally knit with 2.25mm, you will need to go bigger, as this is a very tight knit. This will save you ripping it back, adding extra stitches and doing them on 2.75s or 3s. You could add one extra sts in the knit panel at the front of each panel and cast on 76sts. (Please note you will have to adjust the length to suit you).

Cast on 72 – 2.5m 2:2 rib starting with P1, for 10 rows.Change to 2.75mm needles, for smaller fit, try 2.50 or larger ankles, do 3.00 on leg section.
Knit first row and all odd numbered rows, then commence chart on row 2 repeat 4 times (80 rows).
